A 'pathetic sideshow': Australians and the Russian intervention, 1918-19 / Jeffrey Grey.
Abstract
The poor quality of the source material has made it difficult to write a full account of the part played by Australians in the unsuccessful allied intervention in Russia after the revolution of 1917. A further reason for historians' neglect of the incident is that because the men served in British, not Australian, units their involvment in such a dubious enterprise raised no real moral dilemma baack home in Australia.
