Red on White: Based on a True Story
Description
Red on White by Kit Denton. Based on a true story of courage and endurance by the Allies in the snows of Russia. 1918 War. 'This is not a true story but neither is it truly fiction. The essential facts are true, as are some of the incidents and the odd mix of nationalities. I learned those facts from one of the soldiers who took part in Operation Syren. The characters are, with the exception of the known historical ones, imaginary and without conscious or deliberate resemblance to any of the volunteers who formed the Advance Party of the North Russian Relief Force. But there were such men who wintered in Archangel and the desolate country south of there in 1918 and into 1919. It seems no lack of respect to their endurance and courage to tell a fictional story based on their voluntary service.'
