Is that a request? An order? I don't get it...

If you are indeed looking for information and photos try the online links of the Wikipedia article for a start.

I read it as a request and just put it down to Duhamel not writing in his native tongue. Certainly makes a lot more sense than if I had tried to ask in French/Russian/German etc.

I live about two miles from an old fort/base where there is a monument to the Polar Bears. I think they were stationed there before departing for Camp Custer near Battle Creek, MI. There is also a very good book on the American Intervention that gives good info on the Polar Bears - will get the title and info for you.

Although it wasn't my request, thank you for all the nice links.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic by the way. I realised this had to do with a language barrier. I was genuinely confused. :) Sorry should I have come across a bit nasty.

Here is another nice link: http://polarbears.si.umich.edu/
