Gallipoli was but a temporary refuge for this contingent of General Wrangel’s defeated Southern White Army, which escaped in November 1920 on around 120 commandeered military and civilian ships from the Crimea, the greater portion camping in Constantinople. This photographs is dated as 1920, when this zone was under Allied occupation. The fleet ended in Tunisia, where it was “desarmé”. Of the population on the boats (civilian & military) some settled in Tunisia (there is still a white Russian church in Tunis) or left for other countries (most to Serbia, Bulgaria, Prague and the USA). The boats were returned to the Red Russians a few years later by the French government.
