My grandfather was born in an area that was Ukraine or Russia or Poland depending on the year, immigrated to the US as a teenager, volunteered for the US Army and was sent to Siberia to be a translator. In September 1919, he and a captain were captured by Cossacks. The captain escaped. My grandfather was turned over to General Kalmykov. He was flogged before being released.
