Nightingale, G.W. , R[oyal] Munster "Photographs of the North Russian Relief Force. April 1919 to October1919. General H. deV. Sadleir-Jackson's Brigade." Approximately 100snapshots, mounted n.p., april 1919 to october 1919 These photos show the invasion of Russia by the English, Irish andthe Americans. It was one of the great disgraces in American History. The first photos are of the H.M.T. "War Summit" & H.MT. "Pretorian" chugging through the Arctic Ocean and White Sea in Midsummer, June 1919 on its way to Archangel. "Nevertheless, Allied contingents intended to forestall this non-existent threat began landing at Vladivostok in April, 1918. By September 15, 1919 there were in the Russian Far East 60,000 Japanese trooops, 8,477 Americans, 1,429 British, 1,400 Italians, and 1,076 French. It must be noted that there was by no means complete agreement between the Allies about the objectives of the intervention as a whole. While originally the motive of guarding the military stores against German seizure was kept in the foreground, at a later date the British and French both established close connections with the Anti-Bolshevik forces in Russia and talks about the crusade against communism were begun."
