ph0ebus Posted 14 January , 2012 Share Posted 14 January , 2012 Yes, a high resolution scan of the shoulder may answer your question. This actually leads me to wonder how one researches a Russian soldier in the Great War? -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's wearing the 1907 pattern Russian dress uniform for infantry. The shoulder boards should give you the regiment number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
