This official Russian Army photograph is believed to be associated with the Battle of Mukden (1905), which was the last major land battle of the Russo-Japanese War. A concise and informative article about the battle can be read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mukden. Chaim was one of approximately 40,000 Russian troops taken prisoner by the victorious Japanese. He and those in his camp were treated well during their confinement, and awoke one morning to find the prison camp deserted, the guards having vanished. They walked free, literally!

It is believed that Chaim had already moved to London, but returned to Russia to fight in the Russo-Japanese conflict, although this has yet to be confirmed. It is not known which regiment of the Russian Army Chaim was attached to, what medal he and his friends are displaying in this photo or why they received it.
