With Snow on Their Boots: The Tragic Odyssey of the Russian Expeditionary Force in France During World War I Hardcover - 1997

by Jamie H. Cockfield


From the publisher

In 1916, in an exchange of human flesh for war material, the Russian government sent to France two brigades to fight on the side of their French allies. By the end of World War I, these two brigades had experienced their own form of the Russian Revolution, had been isolated at a southern training post in a discipline move by the French government, had battled against each other in what was one of the first confrontations of the Russian Civil War, and had emerged from the conflict as a single force, the Russian Legion of Honor, which would remain loyal to France until the end of the war. The remarkable story of these Russian soldiers has been overlooked by historians until now. Jamie Cockfield here explores the journey and transformation of these men, and in so doing, he examines the impact of the revolution on the Russians who were caught in the middle of wartime alliances and nationalist ardor.

First line

IN THE CHAOTIC DAYS OF EARLY AUGUST 1914, when all across Europe millions of men rushed off eagerly to war for what would be the last time in history, a rumor swept Great Britain that troops of their Russian ally had landed in Scotland on their way to the Western Front.
