Personnel of a German-Russian combined Red Cross unit

This is a photo of a Red Cross unit, including some Mennonites in German uniforms, being presented to the Czarina. During the Russo-Japanese war, 1904-5, Germany sent a Red Cross Unit to the Russian front. It was a token of friendship. Mennonite young men, who had volunteered to serve in Russian Red Cross units because of their knowledge of the two languages, were delegated to serve in the German unit. The man sitting in front of the official is Peter Dyck. [HR 234]

Voluntary Mennonite Red Cross workers, Russo-Japanese War

This is a photo of voluntary Mennonite Red Cross workers during the Russo-Japanese war. Somewhat more than fifty of our men had volunteered. Their congregations supported them. As far as I know, not one of our young men entered combat units. But the Red Cross service, the service of compassion, was popular among our people. Although not easy, the service nevertheless gave the men a good deal of satisfaction. [HR 235]
