Very understudied is the role of the freikorps, Junkers, Finland, Poland and the Baltic states in the Russian civil war. So many factions. Things could have been so very different.Yep. The fighting against the Vichy was brutal. In many respects they were Pieds Noirs though, and we both know how brutal the Algerian fighting was.
You can still see bullet holes in the main souk in Damascus that were made by Australians.
The Russian civil war stuff is indeed wild, I'd like ti learn more about that. I do know there were Australians fighting in places like Archangel.
A few VCs were won too.
Probably the best book summing up the Commonwealth involvement:
Churchill's Secret War with Lenin: British And Commonwealth Military Intervention In The Russian Civil War, 1918-20 : WRIGHT, DAMIEN: Amazon.com.au: Books

$15 for kindle, but I prefer a hardcover.
