Archangel Arkhangelsk Artillery Baltic Capture Intervention Sidney 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the pivotal moment of the Capture of Rimskaya during the Russian Civil War, which took place on the shores of Archangel in northern Russia on 3 August 1919. The British intervention in the Russian Civil War saw the dispatch of the Siberian Expeditionary Force, led by General Sidney Beresford, to support the White forces against the Bolsheviks. The Syren Force Artillery, part of this expedition, is depicted here in action against a Red Army position at Rimskaya, a crucial strategic point on the Baltic Sea coast. The smoke rising from the ships and the explosions in the distance testify to the intensity of the battle. The British intervention in the Russian Civil War was a complex and controversial chapter in international history, with significant geopolitical implications. This photograph offers a glimpse into the raw realities of warfare during this tumultuous period, as well as the determination and courage of the soldiers involved.
