what is this one?

For startes this is

a) very low quaility image 

b) that  was posted in the wrong thread

Looks like unofficially engaved 3rd class St. George cross that was made by workshop of Dmitriy Kuchkin in Moscow.

Well, my apologies, the images are old.

Perhaps a friendly moderator can move these posts to a more appropriate thread?

Thanks for your help!

A more appropriate thread?

Without any doubts this is our Hero  

Yep. 

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.

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?

[JapanX]

Indeed.

He was podpraporshchik.
