Notes
This book is an account of the doings of the Sadleir-Jackson Brigade, and the Altham Flotilla, on the River North Dvina during the summer of 1919; that is, the period of Allied Intervention in North Russia, which of course was part of the grander plans to wipe out the Bolsheviks and replace them with a regime more acceptable to the Allies. This book could/(perhaps) should be read in conjunction with "The Lenin Plot" by Barnes Carr, and "The Lockhart Plot" by Jonathan Schneer, which describe the sequence of events during the same period in post-Revolution Russia. Incidentally, "Bolos" was the Allies nickname for Bolsheviks, and "Barishynas" were the peasant women of the villages around the River North Dvina, who were asked (they were quite happy to accede) to undertake a lot of the hard lifting work to support the troops.
