American soldiers in North Russia quickly improvised a wheelbarrow when one was needed by American Engineers working behind the American front. The wheel was made hastily with an axe, resulting in a slightly wobbly construction. This photograph, taken on 31 January 1919 by an official photographer, is described as "E WITH THE AMERICANS IN NORTH RUSSIA." It has been released by the AEF Censor on 1 February 1919. The photograph is also labeled as "50635."
