Hi, I'm writing my final year history dissertation on this topic, may I know the source of the above information? Thank you.

if you mean photo - all from private collection. if info - there is a huge digitized archive in Taiwan National Museum

Hi, thank you so much for your reply. If I were to use these pictures in my dissertation, how should I quote them? How did you know these pictures were taken during the Russian Civil War in Vladivostok?

Best regards,
Yoke Wong

You can use these pictures freely in your dissertation, just mention "Private collection of A. Shakhman". I can send you files in necessary resolution if needed. If you wish we can discuss the dissertation materials with you, so I'll see what else can I provide.

It is Vladivostok for sure, because I live here and I know what I'm speaking about))

Dear Yoke Wong,
since you are writing dissertation on this subject, do you have and could you share with us photos of following gunboats an personnel, if any:
gunboat Jiang Heng "江亨" capt. 陈世英
gunboat Li Sui "利绥" capt. 毛仲才
gunboat Li Jie "利捷" capt. 林培熙
tug Li Chuan "利川" capt. 林天寿
light cruiser (?) Yong Jian "永健" capt. ?

Especially interested in "Li Chuan"-tug's photo, because still got none.

In the "Nikolayevsk Incident"(尼港事件) of 1920, several Chinese soldier servered in Yakov Triapitsyn's partisans force. It was said that Chinese gunboat "Chiang Hung" lent 3 Gatlin guns to these partisans to attack Japanese Forces in Nikolayevsk city.

August 1918--review of Chinese troops Vladivostok

Hello-

Does anyone have any more pictures of Soviet-Korean fighters from around this time period, particularly, related to the "Free City Incident" and the Nikolaevsk Massacre? Photos and any intriguing links related to Soviet-Korean fighters would be of great interest to me.

Many thanks,
