Photo driving light artillery RIA

On the origin of character to the army from the artillery shows his coat of infantry cut, with black cloth lapels, framed with red edging, red edging around the edge of the collar. Judging by the protective cap, a photo of the world war period, however, depicted on staff and campaigner of peace time, as evidenced by medals in memory of the 100th anniversary of the Patriotic war of 1812 and in memory of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. Overhead metal cannon on the shoulder straps – liberty, often in wartime. Although with 1909 pieces Nizhniy ranks from artillery began gradually to be replaced with daggers-Bebutov, feuerwerker and sled, moving on horseback, often remained in the blocks. So how has ferienortes's stripes are missing, we can assume that the photo was captured just driving. According to the memoirs of contemporaries, a good driving were rare (a man able to handle a team of six horses, at all times, it was difficult to find and train), so the authorities took care of them and they are very valued, forgiving them rather large liberties. For example, in this photo under the collar of his cloak visible random colorful scarf, for which he caught the eye of the officer, a simple gunner inevitably would fall to the brig.
