Hello gents,

did the Georgian and Armenian rifle regiments have any cyrillic letters to identify the nationlity on the shoulder boards

1914-17 ? If so what colour ?

Dave.

Dave,

I don't believe that they had such abbreviations on their straps. At least they are not listed in the Austrian handbook on the wartime Russian army. All I see with their own distinctions are Finnish, Siberian, Turkistan and Kaukas regiments. No Georgian or Armenian rifle regiments are even listed.
