This is a photo of a group of approximately 60 men in the Russian forestry service, "Forsteidienst". It is the Alt Berdyan detachment from the years 1910, 1911, and 1912. Here young Mennonite men were obliged to complete 3 years of forestry and tree nursery service. The picture was taken in October, 1912 at Forester Siewitsky's anniversary celebration (Jubelaeumsfeste). He had served in the forestry service at Alt Berdjan, Altagir for 35 years. On this day the highest government title of Sir Excellence (Sir Exellens) was bestowed on him. The men are dressed in military style uniforms. Three distinguished looking older men sit in the center of the first row. They are also in uniform but of a somewhat different style including longer coats. The group poses right in front of a large brick building with a tiled roof and some windows. Several trees can be seen between the house and the men. Following are the names of the Forstei recruits:

This is a photo taken in the Russian city of Nowgorod in 1916 during WWI. It is a picture of the personnel of the Russian medical corps train # 202. The doctor and the Red Cross nurses, except for one Mennonite, were Russian. The orderlies were mainly Mennonite and Russian. Of the approximately 50 people, 7 are women. The subjects are arranged in 5 rows with the first row posing in the typical Russian style of men partially lying on their sides. All the men wear military style uniforms. Some of the men wear Persian lamb hats while others wear military caps. Several of the women wear nursing uniforms. The group poses in front of the wall of a building. In the center of the wall is a crest and under it are the letter C and the number 3. In the upper right hand corner there is a tear in the wall, quite possibly the result of the original photo having been torn.
