Seems to be this photo: "48667. Courtyard with convalescent patients. Camp Hospital No. 46. Landerneau, Finistere, France. January 7, 1919." archive.org/stream/cu31924027944598#page/n513/mode/2up Catalogue of official A.E.F. photographs by United States. War Dept. General Staff; United States. Army. Signal Corps Publication date 1919 ====================================================== "CAMP HOSPITAL NO. 46 Camp Hospital No. 46 was established May 16, 1918, at Landerneau, a small town about 14 miles east of Brest, Department Finistere, base section No. 5. Its personnel were assigned from the American Expeditionary Forces at large. It occupied a part of a large French convent school, the Pensionnat du Calvare, which was suitable for hospital purposes, as it contained many large well lighted and ventilated rooms; however, the sanitary arrangements were exceedingly poor and no adequate water supply existed. A detachment of United States Engineers was attached to the hospital to install the necessary plumbing and to provide a sufficient water supply; also several wooden barracks for the personnel were constructed by the Engineers, and the bed capacity of the hospital was increased from 250 to 300. Camp Hospital No. 46 was intended for convalescent patients only, but it received cases of acute disease and of injury from its surrounding area. During December, 1918, only venereal cases en route to the United States were admitted. The total number of patients admitted during its existence was 1,150. The hospital was closed February 28, 1919, and its personnel were transferred to Camp Pontanezen, Brest, for duty." history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/wwi/adminamerexp/chapter... history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/wwi/adminamerexp/ch25fig...

"Chelyabinsk (Russian: Челя́бинск; IPA: [tɕɪˈlʲæbʲɪnsk]) is a city and the administrative center of Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, located in the northeast of the oblast, 210 kilometers (130 mi) south of Yekaterinburg, just to the east of the Ural Mountains, on the Miass River, on the border of Europe and Asia" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk

Catalogue of official A.E.F. photographs (1919) has no pictures of Chelyabinsk refugees. This is likely: "75383, Refugees in the station at Ekaterin- burg. These homeless people sleep on every available square inch of space. Photograph shows them crowded on the stairway. Many of them have lived thus for months. Daily many of them are removed to the hospital with typhus fever. 1918. " archive.org/stream/cu31924027944598#page/n575/mode/2up

Thanks for the information, we will make sure to add the current spelling of the city!

Likely General Konstantin Vi︠a︡cheslavovich Sakharov (1881-1941) socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/ark:/99166/w65j0w6b portal.dnb.de/opac.htm?method=simpleSearch&cqlMode=tr... www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=105308620

Oliver Prescott Robinson, Sr (1879 - 1941), see www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/32142225335/

Probably this one: Catalogue of official A.E.F. photographs(1919): "76654. Gen. Sakharov and Lieut. Col. O. P. Robinson, chief of staff, A.E.F., Siberia. Russian Island, Siberia. January 20, 1919. "

Thanks for the likely corresponding A.E.F. caption that narrows down the date, and for providing fuller names and details. We'll add information to the description.
