"The Russians employed locally recruited Chinese as auxiliaries to perform guard duties on their railways and supply lines on the same unofficial basis as the Japanese. A major of the Russian Frontier Guards relates in his memoirs how he was alarmed to see a group of armed Chinese crossing the railway line ahead of his train, and pointed them out to a fellow officer. The latter told him not to worry - 'they're ours'; when asked how he could tell, he replied 'because they're not shooting at us'."(c) `The Russo-Japanese War 1904-05` (Osprey, Men-at-Arms 414)
