Russian nuns (nurses) who staff the hospital, at Troitsky Avenue, near Olga barracks, take part in the ceremony. View of U.S. Army band marching down a street with their instruments as local children and villagers look on. (Note: This flag-raising constituted an act of defiance by U.S. Red Cross and Army medical personnel, since British medical authorities had opposed starting an American hospital in Archangel.
