About The Event

When America Invaded Russia

by Mike Grobbel

Wednesday July 11, 2018 at 7:30pm at the Yankee Air Museum

100 years ago, 4,500 American soldiers were sent to Archangel, Russia to guard supplies that the allies had sent to the Russians.

This force became known as the American North Russia Expeditionary Force.

Learn about these soldiers and the little war the United States army waged against the Bolsheviks above the Arctic Circle. These soldiers trained at Camp Custer just outside Battle Creek, MI. and most of them came from Michigan.  Mr. Grobbel is the President of the "Michigan Polar Bear Association" an organization that keeps the memories of these soldiers alive.

Doors open at 6:30pm  No Admission after 8pm!
