Great Russian Leader Idolized by Soldiers
The death of Gen. Alexei A. Brussiloff, last czarist army leader, recalls WWI days when his Russian troops swept the Austrian army across the Carpathians and captured Lemberg Przemys and other Galicia towns. Known for daring horsemanship and brief orders, Brussiloff inspired loyal troops with the motto Told out, what ever happens. Military observers noted fearless spirit and a reluctance to retreat, while maxims attributed to him include bravely facing death and religious ardor in a strong body.
