Russian soldiers in Persia, now Iran, are the subject here, though the record gives no date and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service supplied and that has not been independently verified. Russia maintained troops in northern Persia for much of the early twentieth century, amid its rivalry with Britain over influence in the country, and Russian forces were a visible presence there during the First World War. The Bain agency sold pictures like this to American newspapers and magazines, which offered readers a glimpse of distant events, so the caption's uncertainty is worth keeping in mind when interpreting the scene.
