Tsar Nicholas II arrived in Mogilev at the Imperial Headquarters. His command to the army and navy from that day read:
“On this date I assumed leadership of all land and sea armed forces located in the theater of military operations. With a firm faith in God’s grace and with unwavering confidence in ultimate victory we will fulfill our sacred duty to protect the Motherland to the end and not shame the Russian Nation.

After the start of the First World War, “The Little Pair” – Grand Duchesses Maria and Anastasia were still too young to be certified as “Sisters of Mercy” like their elder sisters Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana. However they too had their own infirmary located within a short distance of the Alexander Palace. The girls visited the patients at their infirmary daily: reading to them, helping them write letters, playing games, and generally trying to boost the morale of the wounded soldiers and officers. This was probably the first time the young grand duchesses faced the darker side of life – and death – as war time became their new reality. They recorded news of the infirmary regularly in their diaries and letters. Read more GRAND DUCHESSES MARIA AND ANASTASIA’S INFIRMARY
