EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment British troops board a train at Medevja-Gora, now known as Medvezhyegorsk, in the Republic of Karelia, north western Russia, during the British intervention in the Russian Civil War in June 1919. The British Army's role in the Russian Civil War began in 1918, with the aim of supporting the White forces against the Bolshevik Red Army. The troops are seen here loading onto a railway train, likely for transportation to their next destination. The rugged terrain and harsh conditions of the Russian wilderness are evident in the background, with trees and rocks stretching out as far as the eye can see. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their gear, appear focused and determined, ready to face the challenges ahead. The railway station at Medevja-Gora served as a crucial transport hub during the war, with troops and supplies moving in and out regularly. This image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of war and the resilience of the soldiers who fought in it.
