excellent, thank you.
I have to admit I wasn't 100% on the Lewis gunners shirt but that confirms it...looks like someone might get a repainting.

Oh, these are just figures for the game)))
Just I just clarify this point.
If you have questions about how to reliably paint the figures - I am always ready to help.

Well I'm curious about the Don Army and other White movements in Southern Russia so any additional information about them would be greatly appreciated.
After I've finished the Bolsheviks I'll move on to some Whites.

Now, unfortunately, my forum is not available. I recommend to see the site of our colleague Mark Plant:

Some Red Army men in Great coats, an officer and a rather disgruntled looking Bolshevik

I have a question about Officer Regiments, what sort of shoulderboards did they use? would they have kept their previous shoulderboards with their old rank insignia? or were new ones issued?
I wonder if i'm taking the term 'Officer Regiment' a little too literally.

Officers and cadets made up the majority in such regiments at the very beginning of the Civil War. As events developed and armies grew, officers died, transferred to officer posts in other military units, regiments were diluted with conscripts and captured Red Army soldiers. The percentage of officers serving as ordinary soldiers was rapidly declining. Moreover, officers who served as ordinary soldiers always stood out in separate units — officer battalions and companies. These were truly elite shock units of the highest level - a significant number of officers in them had great combat experience and were extremely motivated.
Elite regiments, naturally, sought to indicate their status with external differences. Therefore, they had special regimental shoulderboards of the corresponding color, as well as a special coloring of the cap. Employees of the officer units retained the insignia on these uniforms corresponding to their officer rank, and also sought to preserve the elements of uniform corresponding to the officer rank (as much as was possible under those conditions).
Moreover, the advantage was not enjoyed by an officer rank, but by the timing of entry into the Volunteer Army. There were frequent moments when the colonels were subordinate to the captains and lieutenants, whose experience in the struggle against the Bolsheviks was higher. The restoration of status had to be earned with courage in battle.
By the way, the right to wear a special “color” regimental uniform also needed to be earned. It was a kind of reward - recognition of merit.
I missed one point - a volunteer chevron on the left sleeve is mandatory in the officer regiments. The corner of the colors of the Russian national flag is a sign of volunteer.

Watch the video in posts No. 156 and 159 in this thread.
Here we are talking about officer units. Their appearance is shown very reliably.
By the way, in episode 159, the captain who ran from the Red Army to the side of the whites is shown. He was to earn in battle the right to reinstate in the ranks of the Volunteer Army.
