 In May 1918 the Imperial family was moved to the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, and neither Gibbes; French tutor Pierre Gilliard; nor most other servants were allowed to enter.The servants stayed in the railway carriage which had brought them to the city.This carriage became part of a refugee train on 3 June and the tutors were in Tyumen but returned to Yekaterinburg after the murder of the Imperial family on the night of 16/17 July 1918 and the fall of the city to the White Army on 25 July.
