When I get it back from a friend, I have a book about the U. S. involment in Russiaicon which I will provide you the name. There were two different groups. The largest U. S. troops were in Vladivostok and were active with a Japanese contingent and a small Britishicon outfit. At the start of this action, the U. S. troops were not issued weapons and when some sniping took place they begged some Arisakaicon 39's from the Japanese until they got word they could break open some of the Moison Nagant cases we had sent and use them. The second group were based around Archangel along with some Frenchicon and British. Both were charged with progection of equipment sent to the Czarist and Kerenski government prior to the Bolshevik take over and the treaty of Brest-Litovsk which stipulated the Russians were to turnover all material the allies had sent to them. The allies objected so some rather brisk engagements resulted. When the material in question was returned, in spite of some rather strenuous protests both in the U. S. and Europe all parties withdrew. The Japanese lastly and most reluctently. It was a minor and rather interesting postscript to the war that started the bloodiest century in history.
