Single page 9" x 13", front only. The proclamation appeals to the troops' patriotism and compassion to the suffering of the allies in their struggle against Keiser Wilhelm's armies. It calls on the Russian army troops to stand up against the enemy and fight till the final victory. The proclamation ends with this appeal: "Soldiers! Listen to the voices of your conscience; your elected officials - Soviets of the Soldiers', Workers', and Peasants' Deputies, - the entire Russia is calling on you! Save our Motherland! Overcome the enemy! Do not let Free Russia perish!" Two lists of authors and supporters of the appeal appear at the bottom: the Military Committee, and the Civil Support Group showing such names as Georgy Plekhanov, "Father of Russian Marxism"; Vera Zasulich, a Menshevik revolutionary; Leonid Andreyev, writer and playwright; and finally, Mikhail Rodzyanko, Chairman of the State Duma and one of the leaders of the February 1917 revolution.

In very good to excellent condition. The paper is slightly wrinkled; the tips of all four corners and a small area in the middle of the bottom edge are missing; areas of light discoloration are evident but not very obvious or intrusive to the eye. The text is crisp and perfectly legible.
