Marina Yurlova 1900 - 1984 was a White Army child soldier and author. Daughter of a colonel of the Kuban Cossacks she joined the 3rd Ekaterinodar Regiment at the age of 14 becoming its only female soldier and soon was appointed a mascot of her unit. Marina fought in both World War I and the Russian Civil War. Performing various duties in combat including auto mechanic driver sapper patrol etc. she was wounded in several instances and won the Cross of Saint George for bravery three times. On the last occasion Marina and approximately another 100 soldiers walked through the Siberian snow for a month injured in order to reach the American Hospital in Vladivostok. After recuperating she was given a safe passage to Japan and later in 1922 to the United States where she married cinematographer William C. Hyer 1905 - 1989 and performed as a dancer. Yurlova published her autobiography in three stand-alone volumes - Cossack Girl 1934 Russia Farewell 1936 and the current one in 1937 - which roughly covered the Russian Japanese and American periods of her life. Her Wikipedia article stated that although Cossack Girl had been reprinted copies of Russia Farewell are rare and those of The Only Woman even more so.

194514449np ca. 1945. Very good . Collection of 9 loose approximately 6" x 4" black and white photographs one duplicate. Ink stamp of Universal Photo Service of Lacrosse Wisconsin to rear of each. Print edges slightly curled few with corner creases. Overall very good. <br/><br/>Small photograph collection of a Crossing the Line ceremony aboard an unnamed WWII-era US naval ship. A long-established naval tradition dating back at least until the 19th century such "Sons of Neptune" proceedings initiate sailors "Pollywogs" after their first crossing of the equator by their more seasoned shipmates "Shellbacks". Though these ceremonial hazings could be brutal the one here portrayed seems rather tame with most participants seen smiling and initiates confined to activities like scrubbing the deck. One image does picture a "Neptune Crawl" however where Pollywogs crawl along the deck and are "paddled." unknown books
