Question Russian uniform,Caucasus January 1917
Hi everybody,
This is a picture of my Great-Grandfather Anton Mouratov.There is a script in the back of the photo.I don’t speak russian so i had it translated.I was told that more or less it was a souvenir from Caucasus in January,15,1917.So,i guess he served the Russo-Turkish War 1914-1918.
The photo is quite well-worn and i can not identify if there are any stripes on the shoulder boards.But i can tell i can see the number 04 i guess its refering to his regiment.
So, i would be most greatful if anyone can give me any information about his uniform,his rank,if he was in the imperial or white army.Those medals mean he was an officer?Also i hope for a better translation of the script.
And my utmost dream.Is there any way i can see his name written down in some archives.For example,for those who served in Caucasus.Is there any department that keeps such files?
