Excerpt from Bolos Barishynas: Being an Account of the Doings of the Sadleir-Jackson Brigade, and Altham Flotilla, on the North Dvina During the Summer, 1919
For all the sins of omission and commission that this little book reveals I crave forgiveness. With the materials that came to my hand I have endeavoured to weave a chronicle of the events that occurred on the Dvina in the memorable summer of 1919. I proffer my sincerest thanks to all those officers and men who produced the narratives, without which it would have been impossible to write this history.
To General L. de V. Sadleir-Jackson, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., Captain Edward Altham, C.B., R.N., Colonel H. H. Jenkins, C.M.G., D.S.O., Colonel C. S. Davies, C.M.G., D.S.O., Major A. E. Percival, D.S.O., M.C., and Captain S. F.Pickering, I am especially indebted for their valuable help and guidance.
To the Editor of Blackwood"s Magazine I am particularly grateful for permission to take extracts from "The Little Adventure."
If this little book succeeds, as I hope it will, in reviving the memory of the Dvina days to those who served in North Russia, then indeed I shall feel that my work has not been in vain.
