The first panoramic photograph is another view of the same Group & field. At this time Langley was home to the newly organized’Air Service’.. Billy Mitchell, who had commanded legions of Allied planes in World War I, was intent on proving the combat value of a weapon still widely and stubbornly dismissed by such figures as Asst. Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Mobilizing the young airmen of Langleys pioneering Air Service Tactical School, Mitchell instituted a revolutionary training program designed to pit aerial bombs against seemingly impregnable battleships, which most strategists of the day saw as the nations best coastal defense. Billy Mitchell was a very controversial figure. But he knew what he was doing, says John V. Quarstein, author of World War I on the Virginia Peninsula, sizing up the historic demonstrations in which the visionary general and his fliers destroyed the 27,000-ton German dreadnought Ostfriesland and three obsolete American battleships. He saw the future of warfare. And the Langley planes proved him right. Professionally Framed & Matted. With Hanging/mounting hardware on back side Overall Framed Size: approx.

It was a war few Americans knew about then or now. Orchestrated behind closed doors, inspired by panic, and plagued by futility, America’s military intervention in Siberia during the First World War continued long after the Armistice sent the doughboys in France home. President Woodrow Wilson considered the order to send American troops to Siberia, a region besieged by civil war, lawlessness, and murder, one of the most difficult decisions of his presidency. Despite Russia’s separate peace treaty with Germany ending the war on the Eastern Front early in 1918, Wilson hesitated to get involved in Russia’s civil war even at the Allies insistence. By Summer 1918 things changed. The mounting Japanese occupation of Siberia threatened American business interests in the East. Piles of Allied military goods amassing to over 600,000 tons of war materials laid vulnerable around the crowded city. [1] The plight of the stranded Czech Legion vulnerable to the merciless Red Army gave Wilson a much needed moral foundation for intervention. Intervention, Wilson realized, could be used later to pressure the Allies into adopting his ideas for a League of Nations. Alone at his typewriter, Wilson outlined America’s intentions in sending troops to Siberia in a seven-page document titled, Aide Memoire. It was distributed to the Allies July 17, 1918. [2] Based on complete neutrality in Russian politics and territorial integrity, it contained more diplomatic hypotheses than decisive military strategies. It was the only directive given to the commander of America’s military in Siberia. Forces in Siberia, the War Department turned to Major General William S. Graves, an intelligent and experienced officer training Eighth Division recruits at Camp Fremont, California for duty in France. On August 2, 1918, Graves received a mysterious message from the War Department ordering him to take the first train directly to Kansas City. [3] At the train station, Secretary of State, Newton D. Baker handed Graves an unsigned copy of the Aide Memoire: This is the policy of the United States in Russia which you are to follow. Watch your step; you will be walking on eggs loaded with dynamite. [4] Graves was now Commander of the AEF, Siberia. The first American troops, 1,590 from the Twenty-Seventh Infantry Regiment, arrived in Vladivostok to a cheering crowd of White Russians on August 16, 1918 followed by 1,421 troops from the Thirty-First Infantry Regiment on August 21. [5] Under the temporary command of Colonel Henry D. Styer, they disembarked into a city buried in the depths of anarchy, collapse, and ruin. Streets were littered with debris. A rancid stench filled the air. Local leaders battled for control. Without orders, Styer and his men waited for Graves to arrive and wondered why they were in this godforsaken place. In the meantime, Colonel Styer agreed to send a regiment from the 27th Infantry to accompany a Japanese division on a reconnaissance operation along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The Japanese told Styer that 15,000 German and Austrian prisoners of war and Bolsheviks headquartered in the Ussuri Valley threatened Vladivostok. [6] Despite the frigid temperatures and difficult ground, the regiment marched over 1,000 miles in pursuit of the retreating Bolsheviks resulting in the capture of Blagoveschensk. [7] The Russians, impressed with American drive, nicknamed the 27th Infantry, the “Wolfhounds”. Major General Graves arrived at Vladivostok on September 1, 1918 with 5,000 Eighth Division troops. Finding no threat to the city, he ordered the troops back to their garrison. Graves had hoped to avoid situations like the Ussuri Campaign, and interpreted from the Aide Memoire that U. Troops were not here to fight Russia or any group or faction in Russia. [8] A strict policy of neutrality was immediately announced to the troops. Bolsheviks and White Russians would be treated equally. By the time Graves arrived in Siberia, circumstances had changed. The Czech Legion no longer needed rescuing. The Japanese had 72,000 troops spread all over the region. [9] The search for German and Austria-Hungarian prisoners of war was unnecessary as they willingly turned themselves in preferring American rations and humane treatment to freedom. With little else do to, American troops patrolled and guarded the city. The Armistice in November 1918 ending the conflict in Europe gave Graves and most American soldiers in Siberia hopes of returning home. Instead, four American companies settled with the first snows of winter 300 miles south in Spasskoe. [10] While Congress questioned the intervention, Wilson found new excuses for the troops to stay. In Formation in the Snow. American troops survived a dismal winter. Temperatures frequently dropped to below sixty degrees. Frostbite was common and in some cases led to amputation. The Chief Surgeon noted that “practically” no sanitary conditions existed. [11] Drinking at the popular vodka houses and engaging prostitutes became the most popular pastimes for many bored and lonely doughboys needing an escape from the harsh conditions. By Spring 1919, the 27th Infantry found themselves divided between the Trans-Baikal region and Habarovsk on the Amur River; while detachments of the 31st Infantry were distributed along the railroad from Vladivostok to the Suchan Valley. [12] In March, the need to transport military supplies and maintain communications for the White Russians produced the Inter-Allied Railway Agreement which divided the 6,000 mile-long Trans-Siberian Railway into sectors. [13] Allied military detachments would protect their sectors from guerilla attacks and keep the railway and lines of communication open. Graves immediately issued orders to his troops: Our aim is to be of real assistance to all Russians in protecting necessary traffic movements within the sectors on the railroad assigned to us… All will be equally benefited, and all will be treated alike by our forces… [14] However, the railway was the main artery of White Russian forces and American detachments soon discovered that Russians along the Trans-Siberian Railway sympathized with the Bolsheviks. At the village of Sviyangino, Bolshevik Partisans frequently wrecked havoc with the tracks and telegraph poles. As one soldier noted, “Almost daily we had been called to repair destroyed stretches [of track]”. [15] At Novitskaya, a Partisan ambush led to the deaths of five American soldiers. [16] Partisan duplicity disturbed most Americans. Cossack guerilla bands plagued American detachments along the railroad. Cossack warlords such as Semenov and Kalmikov were pathological murderers who tortured, raped, and decapitated innocent Siberians. Nick Hochee of the 27th Infantry later recalled Kalmikov: His cutthroat Cossack Army was one of the most ruthless, cruel, inhuman animals of that time. [17] Graves and American officers constantly received pleas from local Russians for protection against the Cossacks. American soldiers also became the targets of Cossack terror. Colonel Styer informed Graves in February 1919: [Kalmikov’s] power of life and death has been so indiscriminately used as to create a reign of terror, and the life of no solider or civilian is safe. [18] At Posolskaya, Cossocks commanded by Semenov opened fire with machine guns from their armored train into a boxcar of sleeping doughboys. At Habarovsk, Kalmikov’s men killed an American Signal Corpsman working on a telegraph pole. The Japanese financed many Cossack guerillas and condoned similar violence against the Russian people. Outnumbering Americans 10 to 1, they masked terror as anti-Bolshevism. [19] The last thing many innocent people witnessed was the blade of a Japanese sword toward their throat. Bitter relations between American and Japanese officers resulted in March 1919 when Graves refused to participate in their counterattack against a group of Partisans who had killed 247 Japanese soldiers. [20] Graves replied that the Japanese probably deserved it. Graves had other difficult matters to attend. A miner’s strike instigated by the Red Army in the Suchan Valley immobilized coal production needed by the railroad. The American detachment sent to the Suchan Mines had to restore stability without interfering between the Bolshevik miners and Anti-Bolshevik administration. Graves’s refusal to arrest striking miners infuriated Anti-Bolsheviks who accused him of harboring Red sympathies. On May 23, 1919, Bolshevik leader Yakov Triapitsyn, who had assisted striking miners, threatened to murder every American soldier in the Suchan Valley unless they withdrew from the area. [21] Graves ordered that all Partisans be removed by force. In August, Captain B. Roads with a 40-man detachment did just that. Triapitsyn retreated from the valley, and the mines operated quietly from then on. Patrolling a sector near Romanovka , American soldiers from the 31st Infantry, now nicknamed the Polar Bears, faced certain death. At 4am on June 25, 1919 Partisans opened fire into their camp. [22] Using single shot rifles, the Partisans took advantage of the unguarded camp left vulnerable between sentries and surrounded it. According to Sergeant Joseph B. Longuevan bullets pierced into their tents causing “some of the cots to topple” and one solider [was] hit 17 times. [23] In the panic, few soldiers grabbed rifles or ammo as they headed for cover in nearby log houses. Outnumbered 20 to 1, they faced an imminent slaughter. [24] Running low on ammo and seeing no reprieve, Corporal Brodnicki volunteered to go for help. Although seriously wounded, he found another American company. Four hours after the first gunshots, machine gun fire from Lieutenant Lorimer’s platoon on the enemy’s flank caused the Partisans to withdraw. [25] American casualties were heavy: 26 men died in the first minutes alone. In Iman, just north of Vladivostok, Kalmikov’s men kidnapped an American captain and corporal. The captain managed to escape, but the corporal remained. Shamotulski arrived at Iman with 150 men from rifle and machine gun detachments for a showdown with the Cossacks. [27] While the Japanese threatened to side with the Cossacks in an attack, Shamotulski stood his ground and they backed off. Brutally beaten and tortured by his captors, the corporal was released days later. Graves suspected the Japanese had orchestrated the whole thing. American detachments along the railroad found themselves exposed to increasing harassment from Partisans and Cossacks. On September 12, 1919, American headquarters at Spasskoe received orders to use their entire force against any Cossack attacks. [28] By December, American soldiers were in grave danger of a massive assault. Graves cabled the War Department: Safety of American troops demands concentration which results in abandoning parts of our sector. [29] The orders were approved. The White Russian Army was defeated at the Volga Front. The Siberian government collapsed. Congress demanded the complete withdrawal of American troops. Wilson realized the intervention was over. Without grace nor glory, American forces left Siberia. As Graves left with the last troops on April 1, 1920, a Japanese band played “Hard Times Come Again No More”. [30] The intervention, which cost the lives of 353 American soldiers (including 127 listed as killed in action despite suspicions that they had been taken as prisoners) was officially over. Major General Graves never overcame the plague of accusations that he harbored Red sympathies. Years later, Secretary Baker confessed, The expedition was nonsense from the beginning and always seemed to me one of those sideshows born of desperation. [32] An insufficient number of troops, political misconceptions, a lack of military strategy all contributed to the failed intervention. And yet, the war against Bolshevism had every opportunity for victory. Trotsky remarked at the time, When the Allies manage to act unanimously and undertake a campaign against us, all shall be lost. [33] Coordinated effort, a clear purpose, and more troops had the chance to make history. The local Russians they protected, the harsh winters they endured, the atrocities they tried to stop, and the railroad they rebuilt time and time again defy all definitions of failure.
