American Survivor (Liberating Alaska)

One American survivor of the pro-Bolshevik occupation of Siknazuak, Alaska was able to make his way to the approaching United States Marines. Speaking briefly with Sgt. Eddie Houlihan, the Yank described how the Bolsheviks were prone to executing people who angered them, or sending them off to the mines and working them to death. The Yank said that the reason he'd survived was that the Bolsheviks went after the local Russian population harder than other groups, claiming that the Russians were Whites.

The Yank was initially so enthusiastic about the rescue that he said he could kiss Houlihan. As the Yank plainly hadn't shave or bathed in weeks, Houlihan directed him toward the back of the lines instead without further comment.
