Description

A Bolshevik shot by an American guard at Outpost No. 1 at 3:00 a.m. on the morning of January 8, 1919 when an enemy patrol of seven men attempted to creep up on the outpost position. This picture was taken to show the white cloak, which all the members of the patrol wore to conceal their movements in the snow. The clothing worn by the man was warm and in good condition. He carried, in addition to a hand grenade, which lies on the ground, a Remington rifle, in good condition, and a plentiful supply of ammunition. Village of Visorka Gora, Ust Padenga, Vaga River Column,(Arkhangelskaya Oblast) Russia. Jan. 8, 1919. (Official U.S. Army Signal Corps caption for photo 152821)

This image contains digital watermarking or credits in the image itself. This image (or all images in this article or category) should be adapted by removing the watermark. The usage of watermarks is discouraged according to policy. If a non-watermarked version of the image is available, please upload it under the same file name, and then remove this template. After removing the watermark, ensure that the removed information is present in both the EXIF tags and the image description page, and add either the {{Metadata from image}} or {{Attribution metadata from licensed image}} tag.

If the old version is still useful, for example if removing the watermark damages the image significantly, upload the new version under a different title so that both can be used (e.g. [[Image:Mount_Everest.jpg]] → [[Image:Mount_Everest - no watermark.jpg]]. After uploading the non-watermarked version, replace this template with: {{superseded|Image:Mount Everest - no watermark.jpg|image without watermarks}}, replacing the italicised name with the file name in question.
