Kit Denton (Australian author who wrote a famous story of Breaker Morant)
had a novel about this time period based loosely upon a number of Australian
and other troops who were sent to fight after WWI.


Where were they, on the Archangel front or in Siberia?

It wasn't only the Brits and the US that fought in Russia at this time.


Indeed not. As might have been expected, the Japanese had a big
presence in Siberia--larger, I suspect, than the Americans, and there
for a longer time.

Japan (and especially the Japanese army) coveted Siberia at least from
the Russo-Japanese War until the decision was made in September 1941
to move east against Hawaii and south against "the Southwest Pacific",
as the Japanese called Southeast Asia.
