Tony Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 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 (?) Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The one on the left looks like a sergeant, given the horizontal braid bars on the shoulder boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 second one is a private. Could you zoom the shoulderstrap of NCO to get more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hello Sergey, I have blown the photo up as best I can. Hope you can tell me more. Thanks Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergey W Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Hello Sergey, I have blown the photo up as best I can. Hope you can tell me more. Thanks Tony 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.

Tony Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Thanks very much for the information Sergey. That explains the the message in English on the reverse. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
