EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of Russian infantry uniforms during the First World War, showcasing the distinct attire of various ranks within the Russian army. From left to right, we see an infantry officer, an infantry officer in a coat, two infantrymen, and an infantry sergeant in a coat. Dated between 1914 and 1918, this photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime fashion and hierarchy of the Russian military during one of the most significant periods in world history. The infantry officer, dressed in a double-breasted tunic with golden braid and insignia, stands out as a figure of authority. The officer in the coat, also adorned with golden insignia, wears a greatcoat, reflecting the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front. The two infantrymen, dressed in the standard olive-green uniforms with fur hats, are seen in a more casual pose, likely on duty but not engaged in active combat. The infantry sergeant, wearing a similar coat to the officers but with fewer insignia, stands proudly with a stern expression. His role as a non-commissioned officer would have placed him in a position of responsibility, leading and organizing the troops under his command. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a valuable historical record of the Russian infantry uniforms during the First World War. It offers a unique insight into the visual culture of the time, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the sacrifices made by the soldiers who wore these uniforms.
