BEGINNING OF PART 2

Fri., Nov. 29--Moved to 445--quiet.

Thurs., Dec. 5--Fired on by patrol.

Fri., Dec. 6--Bombed by British plane--Sickles killed, one wounded. Relieved by French to Oberzerskaya, finished at 10:30 PM. Received mail London & Achinson[?], book from Marg & papers.

Sat., Dec. 7--Inspected outposts.

Sun., Dec. 8--Over to Malorzerka

[After securing the outposts along the Railway, “M” Company received new orders.] Moore: Then came the order out of clear sky that “M” Co. would move to another sector, the Pinega River valley. We did not understand it, but later learned that with the freezing up of the streams and marshes the Bolshevik army had been able to thrust a superior force down the Pinega valley and was seriously threatening the small force of Americans and Russian volunteers holding the city of Pinega and the lower valley. So “M” Co. was picked to make the long 150-mile march to the relief....The 1st [Stoner’s] and 4th platoon made the forced march December 18th to 27th inclusive. [Supplies were transported in pony-drawn sleds. The soldiers’ foot march was made over snowy terrain in below-zero temperatures. While there was no combat during the march, the Americans were charged with a two-fold purpose as they passed through the various villages on the way to Pinega.] Moore: ...just as important, remember not only to bear yourselves as soldiers of a powerful people, but bear yourselves as men of a courteous, generous, sympathetic, chivalrous people. Treat these simple people [the native Russians] right and you win their devoted friendship. Respect their oddities. Do not laugh at them as do untactful British. Molest no man’s property except of military necessity. You will discover likeable traits in the character of these Russians. Here, as everywhere in the world, in spite of differences of language and customs of dress and work and play and eating and housing, etc., stranger among foreign people will find that in the essentials of life folks is folks.

The enemy has been reported to be fortifying TRUFANAGORO, 50 versts east of your position, and also to be cutting a oad west with intent to attack SOYALA. 2. Our forces are beginning an operation to beat him to it. Lt. Mozelenski with two companies is now working east form your position.

We are tidat trying the doubtful issue of battle at TRUFANAGORO. The Volunteers will perhaps be back at Pinega tomorrow. We are hoping they will win. If they lose and the enemy pursues, you may have some fighting at Zaouzera and Soyla. We will hav e them turning our left flank. But we feel lots more confidentt than we did—Donovan left Arkangel yesterday—We shall soon be more powerful. 2. Sheridan is at Leunova [page 2 is concerned that some of the “volunteers” may not be loyal to the Allied cause] I am cautioning him to go careful about ordering men at Gbach, Leunova and Verkne Palenga. The people have to be sorted out—your two men brought the list of names to me. I am having it marked by the Military Control officer and will have it delivered to you and you can send it along to Sheridan by them or soon as you get the names you want. 3.

[The next three days marked the last major campaign for “M” Company. It took place between the village of Obozerskaya and Bolshie Ozerki 18 miles to the East. (MAP PAGE ??). The situation is described by one source (LIST ?) as follows: “Bolshie Ozerki was on the critical overland route linking Onega and Obozerskaya, along which all personnel, mail and supplies were transported to and from Murmansk during the months that the Dvina River at Archangel was frozen over. The Bolos advanced on Bolshie Ozerki from the south through the frozen swamps and on March 17^th they attacked and wiped out the small French garrison in the village. The Onega and Railroad Fronts were now effectively cut off from each other. On March 23-24^th, elements of the 339^th Infantry attacked the Bolshevik forces in the village from both the east and west, but failed to dislodge them. Relief troops and Engineers were brought in to prepare for another assault on Bolshie Ozerki from the east. Before they were ready, the Bolshevik forces broke out of Bolshie Ozerki on March 31^st and headed towards them with the objective of taking Obozerskaya on the railroad and cutting off the Allied forces who were still at Verst 445. (MAP) Four miles east of Bolshie Ozerki, they engaged Company M of the 339^th Infantry, who were sufficiently dug in to stop their advance and buy some time until reinforcements could arrive. Those reinforcements came on April 2^nd in the form of Company H of the Onega Front who had linked up with the British 6^th Yorkshire Regiment, which was newly-arrived from Murmansk and on their way to Archangel via Onega and Obozerskaya. They were able to attack the Bolos from the rear while Company M continued to block their path to Obozerskaya. Under severe pressure from the Allied forces and faced with rapidly warming temperatures, the Bolos retreated southward on April 5^th.” The diary accounts for those three days follow.]
