As the guns fell silent on the Western front on 11 November 1918, civil war still raged in Russia. The White Russian Army, in support of the Tsar, continued to fight the Bolsheviks, especially in the north of Russia. The Royal Navy sent a squadron of ships in support of the White Russians and British troops fought against the Bolsheviks on land. Murmansk and Archangel became British enclaves as our soldiers and sailors fought a valiant but doomed war against the Bolsheviks. Here Michael Wilson reveals in detail the story of the navy's part in this little-known and often forgotten war.
