During this period, in Barnaul there was only one cavalry regiment - 2nd Cavalry Czechoslovak Regiment. On this day came a parade of troops, in which the regiment took part.

"Thats very interesting At that time were at the line Mariinsk – Tomsk - Barnaul deployed 5th Czech Infrantry Regiment and 2nd Artillery Regiment. And the same time were in the same area also deployed Poles with 1st Infantry Regiment, one artillery battery from 5th Polish Artillery Regiment and one polish cavalry squadron. Unfortumately my source did no mention. to what unit belongs this polish cavalry. I will check these two czech units and will try to dig out more info about the Polish."

interesting to note that Sokol was a Panslavic movement, so the uniform could be polish  (yes, I know, chapka...)

also that Vladivostok is "russian".....

These Czech girl scouts parading in Siberia (Barnaul?) are possibly from the Czech Sokol scout organization, proving the Czech Sokol also was active in Russia.
