Tag #113072 - Interview #78233 (Boris Dorfman)

He was a tall, handsome young man. When World War I began in 1914 he was recruited to the tsarist army. He was a brave soldier fighting for the Russian tsar. I know that he was awarded a medal; I think it was a Georgian Cross [St. George Cross] [3]. In 1916 he was held in German captivity. I remember him telling me of this hard time and how the captives suffered from hunger.
