In January 1918, when 25-year-old Michigan school teacher Donald Carey received his draft tice and joined Detroit's Own 339th Infantry Regiment, he expected soon to be in France. Instead, the regiment was posted to rthern Russia as part of an international force put together to defeat the Bolsheviks.Here Carey and his doughboy comrades-in-arms battled the Bolshevik forces of the Russian revolution in a war of which most Americans are completely unaware. It was war at its worst: slogging through waist-deep sw; weeks without bathing or changing clothes; infested with lice and other vermin; enduring cold so intense that more than two hours sleep was impossible.Product Identifiers
