The magazine "Canadian Defence Quarterly" Vol.VIII, No.3 was printed in April 1931. It has a blue cover, signed by Gordon Hopkins, who was involved in Dunsterforce. The article on page 377 is about Canadians in Dunsterforce. Dunsterforce (active December 1917 – 17 September 1918), officially called the British Military Mission to the Caucasus, consisted between 300 and 1,000 officers and non-commissioned officers. They were selected from across the British Empire, including men serving on the Western Front and in the Middle East. This handpicked team of soldiers undertook a daring secret mission to northern Persia (now Iran) and the Caucasus. Their aim was to unify into an effective force the various anti-Bolshevik and anti-Turkish groups fighting there. |
