Cossack's herculean strength and epic courage. Drawing from the war illustrated. The caption reads:
one of the greatest feats of the war, a cossack exploit in which eleven germans were killed, is now the talk of petrograd. A trooper of the 6th don cossack regiment was engaged in an attack on a german transport column. Observing six germans in a trench about to enfilade the russian main body, he charged the position and spitted two with his lance, while the other four fled. These he chased and killed individually. Later five german riflemen attacked the russians, and again kirjanoff charged, disposing of three with his lance. The others fled to the wood, where the amazing cossack dispatched them with his sword. Date: November 1915.
