In 1918, U.S. Army troops arrived at Archangel (Arkhangelsk) and took up positions across North Russia. Known as the Polar Bears, they served through the winter of 1918–1919, months after the armistice ended fighting on the Western Front.
This illustrated portrait poster honors four U.S. Army units drawn from the 85th Division. The 339th Infantry Regiment stands guard in a snowbound village, the 1st Battalion, 310th Engineers repairs a timber bridge, the 337th Ambulance Company evacuates a wounded soldier, and the 337th Field Hospital cares for a patient by lantern light.
The Polar Bear shoulder patch crowns the design, with the 85th Division insignia and unit emblems accompanying the scenes.
