tredhed2 Posted November 2, 2017 Share #8 Posted November 2, 2017 The Russian Revolution occurred in 1917, and the Czar and his family were murdered at this time. Russia pulled out of WW I due to the civil war being fought between the communists (Bolsheviks) and the White Russians (those opposed to the communists). There was concern and worry over the failing Russian government an rise of communism there, so the war weary Western Allies (US, Canada, and Britain) sent forces there, ostensibly for political and humanitarian reasons. In late 1918, two American units were sent to Russia to support the White Russians and rescue some Czech troops being held hostage by the Bolsheviks. The two American units were the AEF - Siberia (Vladivostok) and North Russia Expeditionary Forces (Archangel). This patch was worn by the latter troops. US forces were in both campaigns until 1920.
