Good. Who was buried at the site of this battle later on?
Bonus: what happened to their grave?
ETA: I find it interesting that on the one hand you recognize an obscure Russian general that lost a battle early in WWI. But on the other hand was unaware of the difference between an army and an army group.

Not what this was for. But I'll give you high marks for a vivid imagination.
