Sakhalin 1905.

I need help in clarifying who's right. Russian source or Japanese Wiki?
Japanese Wiki gives 13th ID on Sakhalin at Miereja landing, on July 7th 1905, as:
15th IB - [no co] - 16th IR, 30th IR
26th IB - [no co] - 50th IR, 58th IR
19th Field Artillery Regiment
17th Cavalry Regiment
13th Engineer Battalion
13th Transport Battalion
Divisional cos - col. Koizumi Sakuro

Russian source gives the same [or not exactly the same] units or officers as such:
25th IB - mjr. gen. Nakenouchi [генерал-майор Накеноухи] - 51st IR ; 52nd IR
26th IB - mjr. gen. Konzumi [генерал-майор Концуми] - 49th IR, 50th IR

Divisional cos - col. Nakamura [полковник Каувамура]
Which is right? Do You now Brigades commanders first names?
Russians write about 2nd Anchorage Headquarters at Miereja. Is any truth in that? Any other non divisional units at landing?
Regards,
Marek

Many thanks for the correction Taki, I'll change my files accordingly. Did Kawamura Shuichi remain as CoS until 6 July 1906, when WAKAMI Toraji took over?

Kind regards,

Gentlemen,
Thank You very much for clarifications.
I've also noticed that I've made a mistake.
Divisional cos - col. Nakamura [полковник Каувамура] - these letters in cyrillic alphabeth mean not col. Nakamura but col. Kawamura. Sorry about that.
Regards,
Marek
