I think I will try to find the Graves book, too - I knew we had forces in Siberia at that time, but have never seen any articles or books on them.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-33190783595382928592010-11-11T13:00:31.934-07:002010-11-11T13:00:31.934-07:00Fascinating story Miriam and very well written!

It gives me something to aspire to in my writing.<br /><br />Ever since my mother-in-law told me about her father's Siberian service, I have been enthralled by that part of our history. There's not a great deal of information readily available on the subject so I jump whenever I see something. <br /><br />I have a copy of an article titled, "American Polar Bears' Defense of Vladivistok" by Karl H. Lowe that appeared in Military History in October 1997 that is very interesting. Also, a book titled, America's Siberian Adventure, by William S. Graves is available on the web. I haven't had a chance to read it yet but am hoping to soon.Michelle Goodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427355155193196767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-26180827157545379382010-11-11T09:49:48.043-07:002010-11-11T09:49:48.043-07:00My great-grandfather also served in Russia during ...My great-grandfather also served in Russia during WWI, but in North Russia (west), not Siberia.
