Looking for help with Unit ID of Russian Civil War Flag
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows the meaning of the cross and two large cyrillic letters on this flag. I believe it dates from 1917 and is related to the units formed by the Kerensky Provisional Government. I am pretty sure the lettering on the bottom stands for 1 ударный Революционный батальон which translates to 1st Shock Revolutionary Battalion. Any help would be greatly appreciated Regards, Jason Last edited by jason_w; 09-29-2004 at 05:51 PM. |

I don't know the meaning of two large Cyrillic letters but those batallions were created from volunteers in spring/summer of 1917 as a help to a regular Russian Army to fight Germans.
