Russian soldiers stand in line beside a band

On an open field a long rank of soldiers in peaked caps stands at attention, rolled greatcoats slung across their chests and rifles with fixed bayonets at their sides; at the left end a band holds its brass horns and tubas ready. The source places the scene with General Henri Gouraud's review of French and Russian troops. In 1916 Russia sent two brigades to fight on the Western Front in France in exchange for French arms.
