Thank you...

I think I already mentally spent 300UK this morning.

And I think some of it is destined to come your way, LOL

I have a copy of a book by an American participant, Fighting the Bolsheviks by Donald E. Carey. It provides a bit of colour but by about a third of the way in you are really hoping the author gets killed by said Bolsheviks or suffers some other awful fate hopefully something that incapacitates his ability to write. The man's a complete prig and an awful fucking racist to boot. It was a gift and my mate inscribed it with 'Comrade, know they enemy'. Never a truer word was spoke.

Sailors from the Olympia: 100 men and 8 officers
4,477 men on 9/4/18
339th Infantry Regt.
310th Engineer
1st Battalion
337 Ambulance Company
337th Field Hospital

530 more reinforcements on 9/30/18

Later on
token elements of 338th Infantry
720 men of the 167th and 168th companies of the North Russian Transportation Corp

A few sailors, possibly from the Olympia and some soldiers were also organized in an ad hoc Dvina Navy, but remained on the records of their parent units.

The 6th Battery of the Royal Canadian Artillery operated closely with the Americans, and American patrols and detachments almost always included a few White Russians or cossack infantry.

What is amazing is the way deplyoment was by small units in isolated locations, and rather than concentrating units from the same company or battalion, a 200 man force in a town would usually have a mix of Americans, Canadians, British, Lithuanians, French, and White Russians.
