British forces denied the Bolsheviks the ability to move by sea, RN guns bombarded the Bolsheviks on land in support of Estonian and Latvian troops and provided supplies.
ON the night of 4 December, the cruiser HMS Cassandra struck a mine while on patrol duties north of Liepāja, and sank with the loss of 11 men of her crew.
On 26 December, British warships captured the Bolshevik destroyers Avtroil and Spartak[4] which at the time were shelling the port of Tallinn. Both units were presented to the Estonian Provisional Government and, as Lennuk and Vambola, formed the nucleus of the Estonian Navy. Forty Bolshevik prisoners of war were executed by the Estonian government on Naissaar in February 1919 despite British protests.[5] The new Commissar of the Baltic Fleet-Fedor Raskolnikov-was captured onboard Spartak. He was exchanged on 27 May 1919 for 17 British officers captured by the Soviets and later appointed Commissar of the Caspian Flotilla by Trotsky.[6] In the Baltic, Raskolnikov was replaced by Nikolai Kuzmin.
In April 1919, Latvian President Kārlis Ulmanis was forced to seek refuge on board the Saratov under the protection of British ships.
Pawian.
Once and for all. Poland was not the only one fighting the Communists.....grand scheme of things you guys saved poland from communism (for a few years) but if the Reds had got much further they would have been stopped by Europes armies. I think Poles often forget that every one else in Europe had actually been fighting a real,big war for four years, which is odd as Poland was one of the main battlegrounds and supplied soldiers to just about any and every nation :)
