    <head>Summary</head>
<p>The collection consists of manuscripts, photographic postcards and a copy of "Russkie otri︠a︡dy na frant︠s︡uzskom i makedonskom frontakh, 1916-1918 gg." by I︠U︡. N. Danilov (Paris, 1933). The manuscripts--both by Smirnov--are Smirnov's memoirs dealing with the Russian expeditionary force on the Salonika front in World War I (parts of which were published in "Vozrozhdenie" 1959) and "Vernye dolgu" about the Russian legion in France in 1918. The five photographic postcards concern the Russian expeditionary force and the Russian military cemetery at Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand.</p>  </scopecontent>
