abqpropguy Posted January 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2018 I got this photo today....it feels like China Marines. It’s hard to tell if the coat of the guy in the center is a Marine coat? The MP arm bands are interesting...the “M” seems huge!! Now that I am looking closer....are those Navy pants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted January 20, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2018 I would say the center soldier is Army and the others Navy....Russia perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCR79 Posted January 20, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2018 I would say Russia around 1918 - 1922 Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted January 21, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 21, 2018 I'd say American, I'm getting an Archangel feeling for this one (Northern Russia Intervention 1919) Photo: US Navy and US Army guarding Bolshevik prisoners Photo: Maj.

Bob Hudson Posted January 21, 2018 Share #9 Posted January 21, 2018 Makes sense that Russiana would not use th English-language MP abbreviation. I wonder if the guy in the middle is a local liaison: he looks like he could be one of the non-Slavic natives of Siberia and surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
