The book is both a reference book and a tribute to the good memory of all the sisters of mercy who took part in saving the wounded of the Great War of 1914-1918 as part of various medical institutions from hospitals to advanced detachments in the territory occupied by modern Belarus. It covers the sisters of mercy of medical institutions of the military department, the Russian Red Cross Society, the All-Russian Zemstvo Union, the All-Russian Union of Cities, the Severopomoshch Association, the Russian Orthodox Church, public organizations and individuals. These pages bring back from oblivion about 8 thousand sisters of mercy, which contain brief information, including biographical data, combat path and awards. Famous sisters of mercy include: Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleyev's daughter Sophia, Leo Tolstoy's daughter Alexandra, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin's great-granddaughter Sophia Vorontsova-Velyaminova, Zoya and Elena Obolensky from Cherikov, the owner of the Gomel castle Irina Paskevich, Edward Voynilovich's sister Jadwiga, Karol Czapski's daughters Elizaveta and Fabiana, and others. The review also includes foreigners who worked side by side with Russian sisters. This publication is a tribute to the memory of descendants for the unparalleled feat of the sisters of mercy. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the Belarusian lands and the Great War.
