Canadians in Russia, 1918-1919 ReviewPublished in 1976, this is the best written and most comprehensive of several studies which have retrieved from near oblivion the fact that Canadian troops participated in the Allied interventions of 1918-19 in Russia. Roy MacLaren, the author, was a Liberal cabinet minister and Canadian High Commissioner to Great Britain as well as a historuan. He was also the honorary colonel of the 7th Toronto Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery.
A sad fact in Canada is that most Canadians do not know the proud military history of their own country. It's more than likely than not even one Canadian in ten thousand knows that the Canadian Army fought in Russia from 1918 through to 1919. Canadian involvement in the armed Allied intervention into Bolshevik Russia at the end of the First World War formed both an epilogue to the war itself and an introduction to military problems in the new world to come. Unbeknownst to most Canadians, Canadian soldiers in the First World War actually saw action in Russia in 1918, and continued fighting into most of 1919. In fact, during the Siberian intervention portion of this campaign, the British Force commander was a Canadian, Brigadier-General James H. Elmsley. However, the choice of going to Russia was not one that Canadians made independently, but, rather, it was a decision made by the strategic leaders in Britain, France, the United States, and Japan. Canada had an operational voice, but had little strategic influence, until the very end.
John Swettenham's [[ASIN:B001KIWWFW Allied Intervention In Russia 1918-1919. And The Part Played By Canada. is a useful account of the military operations involved, especially in North Russia, but is very dated. Roy MacLaren covers much of the same ground, but also describes the part played by Canadians in the associated air actions. Skuce deals with the Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force, which spent the winter of 1918-1919 doing nearly nothing in the Vladivostok area.
Frank Shrive's Diary of a P.B.O. (Poor Bloody Observer), The is a unique document, illustrated with his own photographs, describing the air war in North Russia. Raymond Collishaw, whose memoir Air Command;: A fighter pilot's storywas a squadron commander in South Russia and the work describes the activities there of No. 47 Squadron, RAF. See also Raymond Massey, When I Was Young (Goodread Biographies), and Stuart Ramsay Tompkins, A Canadian's Road to Russia: The Letters of Stuart Ramsay Tompkins: Letters from the Great War Decade, for personal accounts of service with the Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force.Canadians in Russia, 1918-1919 Overview
