Description
Baku, Russia. 1918. Side view of a Russian armoured car which was captured by the British. Members of Dunsterforce gave control of the vehicles to some Russian officers (from London) who were issued with British uniforms. The original caption states that one of the most efficient and enthusiastic of these was Baron Nolkyn. The main purpose of Dunsterforce was to reorganise resistance in Mesopotamia and Persia to German penetration of Asia during the period 1918 to 1919.
