Olga Apollonovna von Baumgarten was a Sister of Charity of the Community of St. George, a participant in the Anglo-Boer and Russo-Japanese wars. Since February 1904 she served on the hospital ship "Mongolia", in the summer of the same year - in the coastal hospital of Port Arthur. In her diary she frankly describes the difficult conditions in hospitals, gives examples of heroism and courage of wounded soldiers and sailors, tells about the circumstances of the death of heroes: Admiral S. O. Makarov. Makarov, a woman in the rank of private X. E. Korotkevich, Lieutenant E. A. Maleev, mentions many ships of the Port Arthur squadron: cruiser "Bayan", battleships "Retvizan", "Petropavlovsk", hospital ship "Angara" and others. The edition is supplemented with a foreword, comments and name index by candidate of historical sciences L. A. Mozhaeva.
