WWI Russian Shock Battalion Officer

[bluepeter]

Hello all,

I just joined the forum and thought I would contribute one of the rarer images from my extensive collection of WWI photos. I hope you enjoy! If anyone can pinpoint this Russian shock battalion officer's unit, I'd appreciate the help. There is nothing written on the reverse, and it isn't a commercial or press photo.


Regards,


Pat

Hi, Pat:

I know you posted this a long time ago, but do you still have this photo, and would you let me use a scan of it in a book I'm writing about WWI assault troops?

Thanks very much. I can't identify the officer's unit, by the way.
