Abstract

This article focuses on the experiences of Latvian women and children in Russian military service during World War I, seeing their involvement as a logical result of the societal developments and a rise in the level of patriotism. It discusses voluntary military service, nursing, and other activities closely connected to the army that women and children participated in right from the beginning of the war. This was the first time in history that women and children took part in warfare in such relatively large numbers.
