Caption

◆ In May 1900 the Shah’s train of carriages on the Georgian Military Road, from Mtskheta to Gudauri, was escorted by sotnias of the 1st Khoper Regiment — the Kalaushins’ fellow Khoper Cossacks; three Cossacks swam their horses across the flooded Aragvi to pick a bouquet of flowers for the Shah. «Kavkaz» (Tiflis), no. 184, 14 July 1900, p. 3 [«Kavkaz», no. 184, 14.07.1900, p. 3]. — Public domain.
