Letters From Men In Service From Archangel Russia
A trove of Sept to 14 letters from Lieut. Jones in Archangel describes voyage up the Dvina, city sights, and hardships. He notes poor Russian conditions, supply shortages, inflation, and the use of a dental office amid a tense political scene. He mentions influenza deaths, local strikes, and the first Red Cross hospital flag raising in Northern Russia.
