| Unit / Ship / Est.: HMS Verulam |
Mike: HMS Verulam was a Admiralty V class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was built by Hawthorn Leslie and was launched on 3 October, 1917. She struck a mine off the island of Seiskari in the Gulf of Finland on the night between 3 September-4, 1919, and sank. The sunken destroyer was given to the state of Finland on 12 December, 1919 together with her sister HMS Vittoria, but when salvage efforts began in 1925 it was found that both ships were broken in two and impossible to repair. |
| Action : Russia |
The Allied intervention was a multi-national military expedition launched in 1918 during the Russian Civil War and World War I. With the end of the Great War, the Allies, fearful of Bolshevism, openly intervened in the Russian Civil War, giving support to the pro-Tsarist, anti-Bolshevik White forces. However, opposition for the ongoing campaign became widespread, due to a combination of a lack of public support and war weariness; divided objectives and a lack of an overarching strategy also hampered the effort. These factors, together with the evacuation of the Czechoslovak legion and the deteriorating situation compelled the Allies to withdraw from North Russia and Siberia in 1920.
