Seeking identification of a military uniform in a watercolor painting

score:5

Yeah the buttons don't match those (not) sketched.

But there was a lot variation; see the photo collection of Visser for instance

The OP didn't provide any details where that might have been sketched, but there was Russian expeditionary corps sent to France. The photo below is from when they disembarked in Marseille in 1916.
