Footnotes:

[5] MC. Transliteration - Keksgolmskii.
[6] Tessin - Raised
[7] MC.
[8] Transliteration - Staroingermanlandskii. Prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia was divided into administrative areas called guberniyas. This dated from the time of Peter the Great who instituted the system. Ingermanland was one of the initial eight guberniyas but was renamed Saint Petersburg in 1708. I presume, therefore, that Old, and indeed, New Ingermanland are situated in the area of Saint Petersburg but can otherwise not identify the locations in modem Russia. [9] Tessin/MC - Schlusselburg.
[10] MC.
[11] Transliteration - Sofiiskii.
[12] Tessin - Dnepropetrovsk. Dneprovsk is the Soviet name for Yekaterinoslav!
[13] Transliteration - Dneprovskii.
[14] Tessin - Prshibsherskii
[15] MC - Apsheron
[16] Transliteration - Tulskii.
[17] Tessin/MC - Staryi-Oskol. Transliteration - Staroskolshi.
[18] Tessin - Likov
[19] MC - Velike-Luki. Transliteration - Velikolutshi
[20] Transliteration - Nevski.
[21] Transliteration - Knyazyna.
[22] Transliteration - Uglitski.
[23] Transliteration - Novoingermanladskii. See also footnote 4.
[24] MC - Butyrskii.
[25] Transliteration - Orlovshi.
[26] MC - Nizhniy-Novgorod. Transliteration - Nizhegorcldskii. Gorki in Soviet Russia.
[27] Transliteration - Ladozhskii.
[28] There is conflict between the information given by Viskovatov and Tessin in the context of the Belev and Rylsk Regiments. Viskovatov associates Bakhmetev to the Rylsk Regiment, Tessin to the Belev Regiment. Tessin does not mention Mansurov. It is always possible that Bakhmetev was chef of both regiments at different times but at the time of writing the discrepancy is unreconciled.
[29] Now Tbilisi, Georgia.
[30] Transliteration- Ufimskii.
[31] Raised
[32] Raised
[33] MC.
[34] Raised
[35] Raised
[36] Raised
[37] Raised
[38] Raised
[39] Transliteration - Litovskii.
