I am very interested in finding out information with regards to the platoon and company make-up of both opposing Russian sides during the Russian Civil War, after WW1. I would be very grateful for as much guidance as possible.

At the moment, it's more for the infantry composition on platoon and company level. I think, deep down, I had a sneaking suspicion that many of the forces, at that time, were just thrown together. But anything to go on would just be fantastic Also, information on cavalry and artillery would be of use as well.
Another period I am looking at is the Baltic campaigns of 1919 - which I'm also finding very interesting.

The illustration plates are wonderful as well - infact fantastic. I am always fascinated by old military photos and there were certainly a lot of really intersting ones. Are there any other archives, that you know of, which have photos from this period?

In two months at the end of the First World War, between August and September 1918, Churchill authorised the M Device - shells with chemical tips - to be dropped over villages and military posts held by the Bolsheviks in northern Russia.
Thousands of innocents civilians were killed across Northern Russia.
My question is why did Russia never avenge this war crime?

The bolsheviks were soon about to use poison gas against russian peasants themselves. Not to mention murdering scores by more "conventional" means. Nobody in the bolshevik leadership cared one jot about the lives of innocent russians. They were a bunch of murderers themselves.
To say that the Bolsheviks were murderers does not mean denying that the foreign occupiers also were.GarryB wrote:Amusing that the Bolsheviks are still considered a murderous regime even today, yet the sins of the British and Germans and Japanese and Americans are forgotten... it is a very powerful thing to write history... shame it is so badly misused in the west to colour everything...
