Don`t know about Heremitage, but Artillery museum in St.Petersburg certainly has this photo in its collection. See http://www.prlib.ru/Lib/pages/item.aspx?itemid=120920 It was made somewhere between late 1915 and 1916. It was published in the book that I mentioned earlier. Very famous photo. Although the quaility of printing was pretty terrible Try to use electronic translator. Like this one http://translate.google.com/ Not top notch quality but better than nothing ... Hi JapanX - long time no speak. What rank did you say he had? Not sure what Ensign correlates to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
