Footnote: Captain E.A. Dickson was serving with the 17th Battalion, King’s Liverpool Regiment, when the unit assembled on 1 October 1918 at Mytchett Camp, Aldershort, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel J. P. Pitts. Subsequently entraining for Glasgow, the 17th departed on 11 October for Murmansk, Russia, with a Royal Navy destroyer escort. Arriving on 17 October, the unit joined the Syren portion of the North Russia Expeditionary Force and departed for Arkhangelsk. Dividing into small companies, the 17th provided garrison and security duty in northwestern Russia, including placing under arrest a unit which refused to proceed to the front. On 5 and 6 December, under Dickson’s command, “D” Company blunted a Bolshevik assault on Tarassova, detouring through a forest to capture a blockhouse, killing seven Bolsheviks partisans and capturing a further four, in addition to the seizure of weapons and materials. The success of the attack was limited by weather conditions, with heavy snow disabling the company’s Lewis guns. Further successful actions against Bolshevik fighters took place through the spring of 1919, when the Allied force was gradually withdrawn.
