Narrative of events relating to the Siberian expedition by Lt.-Col. John Ward. Ward, a prominent Trade Unionist, served as a Member of Parliament before the war in the Liberal-Labour interest. He was instrumental in the recruitment of five labour battalions for the Middlesex Regiment in 1914, one of which, the 25th Bn. (nicknamed the ‘Navvies’ or ‘Diehards’) he later commanded on active service in support of the White Russian forces. His war experiences, particularly of Bolshevik atrocities, lead him to distance himself from the Labour Movement.
