Aftermath

ABOUT many of the principal players little is known. President Chaikovsky was a delegate to the Paris Peace Conference and stayed on to live in the French capital.

Cpl. Earl Collins died in a Bolshevik hospital. In a surprising move, the Soviet government released his body with eleven others in 1934. His family elected to have him interred in Europe, and he remains the only member of the 339th Infantry Regiment buried in England.

Ambassador David Francis recovered from his prostate surgery and plagued President Wilson for years, pleading for massive troop reinforcements.

Eugenie Fraser left Russia in 1920 and moved to her Scottish mother’s house in Scotland. She married and lived most her life in Australia, but, widowed, she now lives in Edinburgh.

Gen. Edmund Ironside prospered in his military career, becoming Chief of the Imperial General Staff at the outbreak of World War II, but retired in 1942 and died in 1959 at the age of seventy-nine.

Gen. E. Miller, who stuck with his troops until the disintegration of the northern White Army, sailed out of Archangel with the mysterious George Chaplin just before the Reds took over the city. Reportedly, he lived in Paris, but was abducted and murdered by Red agents years later.

George Stewart passed from sight into an undistinguished Army career. He did make colonel, but never received any recognition for Archangel. He retired on disability in 1931 and died March 2, 1946.
