All was mercifully quiet on the eastern front for Russian officers guarding the Carpathians, the mountains between their motherland and Hungary. Manpower was not an issue - in 1914, after 125,000 Russians were capture by the Germans at Tannenberg, Czar Nicholas II just ordered more serfs drafted - but firepower was: 1/3 of the men lacked guns. By the end of the war, Russian's dead, wounded or captured exceeded nine million troops.
