Semen is a common Russian name. Unfortunately, the latin script does not allow all "e"'s to be spelled out correctly.

A male name, presumably?

A soldier confesses his love on the battlefield while in the foreground his fellow grenadier provides music for the occasion, possibly a tune by Whitesnake.

I think the fellow in the background there is being sick.

Oh, just noticed it today, LOL. Some 4 months after you asked.

1. Yes, Semen is a male name, but it has nothing to do with the similar sounding English word
2. An example that comes to mind right away is one of the great revolutionary generals: Семён Михайлович Будённый

"Alright lads, We've only got one cannon to guard this ford so we've got to make this shot count." Unit proceeds to make the cannon into a bomb. However the rammer is having trouble packing all the gunpowder and decides to get a running start to help him ram it in.
