Rifles used by C.E.F. in Siberia and North Russia

[Harlan (Deceased)]

Very few people seem to know about the Curtis 'Hawk' -
There were several of them at Pearl Harbor and one managed to get in the air that made a 'kill'.

Reminds me of Churchill's remark when he saw Claire Chennault at an Allied conference: "I'm so glad he's on our side." (In other words, not the other side!)

The Unv. of Michigan has a site dedicated to the 1918-1919 Intervention in Russia.

Lots of unusual pics.

You can see that many of the U.S. soldiers were issued Mosin Nagants.

I have two copies of photos that came from an Eastern Townships, Quebec Officer photo album that served with the CEF in Siberia and you can see that the soldiers are armed with Mosin-Nagant Model 1891 rifles.

Check out FleaBay auction 260540441767 from last week- it's a great photo 7" X 48" (Canadians to do their own Trudeau-mandated metric conversion, please) of B Company, 259th Batt'n in Siberia. All are armed with Canadian-contract MkIII Ross rifles (not the MkIIIB's). A sniper hiding in the long grass nailed me in the last few seconds,,,,damn!

I think the photo was taken in Canada, before they ever got to Siberia. Photographers note at bottom of photo say Niagara-on-the-lake. Compared to my photos, these fellows are to neat and proper, they men in mine are grungy and battle-weary.
