Photo of ranks of staff of the cavalry division of RIA on the station platform

A significant part of the officers shown in the photo, dressed in their summer dress uniform outside the system: the cap and jacket of protective colors in scarves, lapel signs and awards. Most of them serve in the cavalry, as evidenced by ladunni on salonnyj the sling over the left shoulder and a cavalry sabre in steel Nickel-plated scabbard, which were allowed to wear the officers of the Dragoon (not renamed from cuirassier), hussar and Ulan regiments in all kinds of shapes out of a system. In the centre foreground – General, the most senior of those present by rank and position. In addition to the chest pad with the award-winning, on his neck you can see the order of St. Anna's 2nd article, below, on the side of his uniform – the order of St. Stanislaus 2-nd St. in addition, the General awarded the order of St. Anne's 4-th century, as evidenced by the knot of swords made from the Ann's Protestant ribbon – red with yellow edges. The rightmost officer, judging by the colors of the lapels of his overcoat (red background with white edging), serves on the office staff, the adjutant, fourth from right, with black velvet edging and buttonholes officer of the General staff (as a rule, they have served in positions not lower than heads of headquarters divisions). The leftmost officer is probably the duty, as he is dressed in a summer service form when a cold gun and the revolver. I wonder what is the share of the revolver mod 1895 he was armed with an automatic gun, most likely Browning (the holster from under the valve characteristic visible pocket for spare mags). The assumption that the officers serve at the headquarters of the division based on their number (in the regiment officers had a lot more) and the presence among them of adjutant and General staff, which is also typical of divisions and separate brigades. Officers and escort them civilians shot on the station platform. The car in the background, judging by the location of the Windows and their configuration, as well as the characteristic light lamp on the roof, the siding stained wood and an abundance of decorative elements that may relate to the so-called saloon-carriages or sleeping carriages for the carriage of troops is usually provided to headquarters units. In the right part of the image is visible neck station overpass for the semaphore and the tower. The most likely devoted to the departure of staff during a summer camp or large manoeuvres. A lovely, very rare subject. The guarantee of authenticity.
