    Hello,

    Can anyone tell me anything about these two men from their uniforms?

    Are they infantry, NCOs, officers?

    The photo was taken in England, on the reverse in English is:

    I give you this photograph remembrance.

    Yours truly

    V. Mogiluy (?)

    The one on the left looks like a sergeant, given the horizontal braid bars on the shoulder boards.

    Thanks Paul.

    Would you have any idea why these men could have been in the UK? It's noted on the reverse in modern handwriting that they were in Lewisham military hospital but I don't know how true this may be.

    The left one is a NCO (unter-officer). The second one is a private. Could you zoom the shoulderstrap of NCO to get more information.

    Hello Sergey,

    I have blown the photo up as best I can. Hope you can tell me more.

    Thanks

    OK. It gives a hypothesis.

    If the NCO has a III (Roman figure) on his shoulderstrap, he may served in Russian Expedition Corp in France or Thessaloniki during WWI.

    Look here

    Best regards.
