Title: Standard/Banner for Russian Whites in Chinese Service?
Post by: H.M.Stanley on 12 April 2013, 10:27:44 AM

I suspect that they'd have a Chinese banner but where is the fun in that?

Any thoughts chaps?

Is there a particular Standard that springs to mind?

Many thanks

James

On a side point ...

The Brigade Games - Storm in the East Russian Command 1 (4). Is the chap in the coat/hat with the crucifix meant to represent any historic personality?

As far as I know it is a Russian Orthodox field chaplain.

"So in the name of the Lord I bless you before this battle and ask Him to to keep the number of you returning with your intestine in a Tesco bag to a minimum. Amen! Now go forth and slay!"

I'm sure i can think of some rule or other to represent him

Funny enough, i have a print of a scene from the Russo-Japanese War in Manchuria where a Priest is blessing the troops
