Interesting cross section of representative troopers from one cossack and three
regular Imperial cavalry regiments, taken between 1910 and 1914. The group is from the
14th Cavalry Division, the two brigades of which were based at Kalisz and Chestochowa.
Apart from their uniforms, the cossacks are noticeable for their shashka sabres
(without hilts) and their apparently non-regulation hair lengths. It seem to have been
Romanoff policy after 1910 to group cavalry regiments of the same number together, so
these soldiers represent the 14th Host Ataman Yefremovs's Don Cossacks, the 14th HRH
Prince Albert of Prussia's Mitau Hussars, the 14th HIH Grand Duchess Maria
Aleksandrovna's Yamburg Lancers and the 14th Crown Prince of Germany and Prussia's
Little Russia Dragoons. The latter have the braided fronts of a former cuirassier
regiment. Amongst all these splendid titles is a solitary gunner of the 23rd Horse
Artillery Battery. |
