New material on Pygmy Wars
« on: October 26, 2024, 08:53:38 PM »
It took a while but I finally managed to find a book about the White Russians in Mongolia and China that described the units not led by Ungern, such as the Kazagrandi detachment, in halfway decent detail. A few of you will enjoy Serebrennikov's book The Great Retreat: the Dispersion in Asia of the White Russian armies, 1919-1923.  Along the way I also picked up a whole bunch of other related articles on various aspects which I thought I might as well attach. I did also translate Ganin's biography of General Bakich, but to be honest it's pretty dull. It's all here: https://www.pygmywars.com/rcw/history/china/china.html

Some time I will get round to the two accounts of men who served under Baron Ungern, but I'm over Mongolia for the moment. Locating the places from the old names is always a chore with these books, but it is much worse when they are in Mongolia and China.

I have also added some material on smaller Polish actions. I really enjoyed the small book on the battle of Wołoczyska and the raid on Korosten. The rest is pretty ordinary, but since I have it I thought I might as well post it. It's here: https://www.pygmywars.com/rcw/history/minor_poland/minor_poland_intro.html

Great stuff, as always, Mark.  You're website is a really wonderful resource now.  The Timanovskiy instructions you posted before where fascinating but rather brutal.
