wondering if Jews served in any of these Russia wars?
  • Persian Constitutional Revolution?
  • Russian Revolution of 1905?
  • Russo-Japanese War?
  • Rebellion in Guria?
  • Boxer Rebellion ?

    My GGGgrandmother Fanny SALOWEI / SALWAY / SOLOWEY (changed to GORDON) came here in 1909.
    her husband JENHE / JULIUS/ZOLIE (ZELIG)/ GOLIE/YUSSI Last name: SALOWEI / SALWAY / SOLOWEY had already died in the Red Army.  between the last children born (1900) and her arriving in NYC as a widow in July 1909.  

    yadvashem has a list of Jews in the Red Army, 1941–1945 on there website.

Jews served in the Tsar's Russian  Army before October Revolution in 1917. They served in Russo-Japanese War. 
The famous Israel hero Trumpeldor lost his arm in this war.

 The Red Army was  established in January 1918.

My mgf served in the Russo =-Japanese war after which he emigrated to America so his children wouldn't have to.  In an "Appointment in Samarra" type of thing one of his sons joined the Seabees during WWII and was stationed around the Sakalin Islands.  He came home with some PTSD
