American soldiers, along with French and Russian civilians, attended a Thanksgiving party and dance at the Convalescent Depot in Archangel, Russia on March 1, 1919. The picture captures a curious animal in the room, accompanied by members of the American and Red Cross. The animal's keeper, Leon Moses, belonged to the Medical Detachment of the 339th Infantry. The plate also includes a note indicating a picture of President Wilson adorned with an American flag.
