A Personal View of Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich

I know him for a gallant gentleman, a keen soldier and a most kind friend, whose life I trust may be spared to see the country he loves so well under happier conditions; a commanding figure and a commanding personality, who would, I believe, had a Romanoff been left to create order out of chaos, have done much to help his country and the Allied cause. I little thought in those days that I should have to say my final farewell to him as a Russian officer under such tragic circumstances.

These personal views really give you a different perspective

A moving account of friendship. I'm glad the Grand Duke didn't perish with the Tsar's amily.
