Naval Mission to Siberia and Perm 1918

Ministry of Defence did not have the information requested.

Michael Occleshaw

Dear Ministry of Defence,
I need to see the records of the Naval Mission to Siberia and Perm in 1918. The Mission departed from Vladivostock in August 1918 and returned to that port in December 1918. It was led by Commander James Wolf-Murray. Its existence is established by a) the log of HMS Suffolk; b) Correspondence from General (Sir) Alfred Knox to the War Office; c) James Wolf-Murray's Service Record; [These are all in the National Archives.] d) Richard Luckett's "The White Generals" (Longman, London, 1971.)
I have checked the catalogue of records destroyed by the Luftwaffe when they bombed the Arnside Street repository in September 1940 and that shows that no naval records were destroyed. This strongly suggests that the report(s) of the Naval Mission are still held by HMG.
I await your reply with interest.
Yours faithfully,
Michael E. Occleshaw.
