Mike Dwyer Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) I just got this photo on a CD I purchase but I have no idea who this man is.That's Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich (1856-1929), a first cousin of Czar Nicholas II. He was commander in chief of the Russian armies on the main front line during the first year of the war and was later commander of Russian forces in the Caucusus. He was very, very tall and towered over the Czar. Edited February 6, 2008 by Mike Dwyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
