delbarre Posted 27 August , 2010 Share Posted 27 August , 2010 hello, I am in touch with a guy in Archangel (North Russia) who is interested in the English operations in North Russia in 1918-1919. He is looking for informations on the delivery of british tanks to Archangel, in particular the types and number of tanks, the ships they were aboard, their return transportation to Britain. He is interested in the list of officers and soldiers of the tank division that arrived in Archangel on august 29th 1919. I thank you in advance for any information Best regards Fokad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James A Pratt III Posted 30 August , 2010 Share Posted 30 August , 2010 There are books by Ospry that deal with the AFVs used by the Reds and Whites during the RCW. One of the two should tell you what you want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
