EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the staff officers of the British Military Mission to Siberia, assembled at their headquarters in Vladivostock in 1919. At the center left of the image, with a distinctive Russian fur hat adorning his head, is Major General Alfred Knox, the head of the mission. To his left, in the center middle, stands his Chief of Staff. The British military intervention in Siberia was part of a larger Allied effort to support the anti-Bolshevik White Army during the Russian Civil War. A force of approximately 1500 British troops, comprised of the 9th Battalion Hampshire Regiment and 25th Battalion Middlesex Regiment, were deployed to Siberia as part of this intervention. The officers in this photograph embody the complex and intriguing history of British military involvement in Russia during this tumultuous period. Their determined expressions and smart uniforms convey a sense of purpose and resolve, as they prepared to face the challenges of the Russian Civil War. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in international relations and military history.
