From Russian Anzacs in Australian History:
In artillery units nearly 50 Russians served as gunners and drivers. Nicholas Korotcoff drove huge, horse-drawn supply wagons on the battlefields in France. Several other Russians who had rural backgrounds, and were accustomed to handling horses, felt at home doing this work -- George Gurasoff, Makar Markoff and an Ossetian from the Caucasus, Alexander Zangey, who was killed at the Somme.
