Description
Persian Road, Persia. 1917-12. Informal group portrait of operators with the 1st Wireless Signal Squadron and Russian Partisans (Partizanski) on the Persian Highway. The Russian detachment consisted of volunteers from different regiments under the command of Bicherakov who had chosen to continue to assist the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force after the Russian Revolution. They had with them a mobile wireless station. A party from No. 1 Wireless Signals Squadron was sent to handle traffic in English. (Donor R. Sainsbury)
