Sturdy youngsters in whom lies the hope of Russia. This group of boys are under the American Red Cross care at Russian Island, Vladivostok. They are part of several thousand boys and girls sent from Petrograd to escape famine in 1917-1918 and who were scattered in cities and towns of western Siberia when the Red Cross extended their aid last winter. During the summer they were placed in a summer agricultural colony, and when this was menaced (and later taken) by the Bolsheviks, they were brought to Vladivostok
Child refugees from Russia. On the American Red Cross relief ship bringing Russian refugees from the port of Odessa in the Black Sea hundreds of children had the first wholesome food that they had ever tasted. Some of them had never tasted salt before, that being one of the most difficult things to obtain in Russia at the present time. When they arrived in Constantinople, where they were deloused and given medical attention before being sent to the concentration camp arranged for them on the island of Proti, far out in the sea of Marmora, they were met by Junior Red Cross of America directors who had large supplies of clean clothing, shoes and underwear awaiting them. To these miserable, unoffending waifs, who have known little but suffering and terror in their short lives this was almost the first sign that human kindness was to be found in the world. Their changed spirits spoke worlds of gratitude for American children whose slender savings brought them so much comfort and happiness
Dimples and Rags. Children of South Russia have nothing much to make them happy. Their clothing is nothing but rags, hundreds of them have no homes and their only food is what they can beg, steal or pick up in the street. Schools have been abandoned and they have nothing to do but roam the country. The American Red Cross recently furnished the necessary supplies for opening dozens of orphanages and homes throughout the country for the care of these children. The two ragged but happy ones in this picture were among the first to appeal to the orphanage in Novorossiisk for a home. They are brother and sister; the mother died with typhus and their father was somewhere at the front when last heard from
Two girls from a nearby village volunteered to help, and, putting aprons over their frocks, worked for six hours without pause, washing the weak and indescribably dirty men. This train of 30 Russian box-cars with 150 sick Russian soldiers has been from place to place in Russia since May 10, 4 months. The men were in a dreadful condition suffering from Typhus, spotted fever or dysentary. At Nickolsk the American Red Cross came to rescue, washed, fed and treated the men and cleaned and disinfected the train
Lost but cared for. About thirty children who got lost from their parents during the rush of refugees to leave the doomed city of Novorossisk, in South Russia found themselves well taken care of. They were all gathered together and taken to the Crimea by the American Red Cross on the relief ship Sangammon. This picture shows some to fht children in charge of Lieut. L.M. Foster, of Chicago. Many of the children were restored to their parents after reaching the Crimea, while those whose parents could not be located were taken to the Red Cross colony on the island of Proti where they are being well cared for
Russia's desperate need of clothes. Next only to food and medical supplies the population of the famine districts of Russia need decent clothing and to help supply this need Red Cross Chapter workers are asked to produce garments that will be distributed among these hapless people by the American Friends' Service Committee in conjuction with the feeding operations of the American Relief Administration and distribution of hospital good donated by the American Red Cross
Finland News Service, A SOUP LINE AT RUSSIA'S DOOR, Refugees from Russia lined up at one of the American Red Cross feeding stations in Finland on the border of Russia. Twenty five thousand refugees have passed through this station since it was established by the American Red Cross less than a year ago. There are many children with the refugees
Russian Girls Trained for Usefulness. A group of the Petrograd children rescued by the American Red Cross in the wilds of Western Siberia and trained as nurse's aids. After completing their course they were assigned to duty in the Vladivostok hospital where they will be able to spread the knowledge of modern nursing methods among their own people
Russia's youngest soldier. Nine year old Peter Wrangel, only son of General Baren Wrangel who is in command of the volunteer army of south Russia, is the youngest soldier in the Russian army. The boy is a great lover of army life and holds the rank of sergeant in his father's troop. Although barely big enough to hold a rifle to his shoulder the lad is an expert shot and a wonderful rider. At present young Peter is living with his mother on the island of Proti, not far from Constantinople, where the American Red Cross is caring for a colony of several hundred Russian refugees rescued from Black Sea ports
Russia is left an orphan. All young Russia seems to have lost its parents. Thousands of children have been left withour fathers or mothers by the war and great wave of typhus which has swept over the country. Orphanages are filled to overflowing and scores of new institutions have been opened and still more are needed. This picture shows the little children in one of the orphanages fully equipped and opened by the American Red Cross to care for the little homeless waift. They are only a few of the many thousands which have been left destitute and are looking to relief organizations for their care

American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) encountered a multitude of orphaned children when they joined the war in 1917. Grassroots orphans’ relief efforts sprang up in France as early as 1914. A 1916 advertisement in The New York Times stated that in August of 1914, a group of drafted factory workers demanded that an organization should be formed to care for their potentially parent-less children. This first charity was founded by M. Vilta, the head of the Paris Université Populaire. It was known as the Association Les Orphelins de la Guerre, War Orphans’ Association. In 1915, the CNSA (National Relief and Food Committee) created the Oeuvre nationale des orphelins de guerre (National war orphans charity) in order to help children who had lost their parents due to the war. This section was created with the support of the very active Commission For Relief in Belgium (CRB). Across the Atlantic ocean, they were supported by a broad network of charitable donors and private citizens including philanthropist William D. Guthrie, Catholic Archbishop John Cardinal Farley, US Supreme Court Chief Justice Howard Douglass White, and French ambassador William H. Sharp, the American Society for the Relief of French War Orphans, which solicited funds from Yale University. In August of 1914, a group of New York-based philanthropists, and several former French residents including August F. Jaccacci, Mrs. Cooper Hewitt and Frederick René Coudert Jr. began the most wide-reaching orphans’ relief organizations, the Franco-American Committee for the Protection of Children of the Frontier. The Committee was assisted by the Service de Transport France-Amerique, a shipping service for transferring goods across the ocean to help the French. The Committee spread and advertisements printed in publications like the Chicago Tribune. Funds collected from the solicitation on the orphans’ behalf by the American public through the advertisements paid for ophan’s care and education that reportedly cost “16 cents a day.” In addition to relief agencies’ fundraising campaigns, the US Red Cross hosted several large-scale Child Welfare Expositions in Saint Etienne, Lyons, and Marseilles in 1917. By December 1, 1917, the Franco-American Committee for the Protection of Children of the Frontier recorded that they had aided 1,365 children. Despite the war environment, most of the children in American Red Cross photographs appear to be calm and well-fed despite their uprooting and the horrors that they may have witnessed. On April 12, 1918 Stars and Stripes newspaper reported that 38 children were adopted by Infantry companies. The Great War resulted in six million orphans across Europe.
