A French general pins a decoration on an officer

Before long ranks of soldiers drawn up on a field, a general in a braided kepi and a long greatcoat reaches out to pin a decoration on the chest of a moustached officer in a steel helmet, who stands stiffly with his sword at his side; an orderly waits at the left. According to the source, General Henri Gouraud decorates a Russian officer. In 1916 the first Russian brigade served in Champagne under the Fourth Army, which Gouraud commanded.
