The British Army of the Black Sea was part of the allied intervention in the 1918 - 1920 when Great Britain, France, and the United States sent their expeditionary forces to assist the Russian White Movement in their struggle against the Bolsheviks. The British Army of the Black Sea was part of the supplementary force deployed to intervene in the Crimea. This very rare document shows us one of the ways the Brits maintained the fighting spirit among their troops. However, the White Russian armies and their Allied supporters failed to overcome the Reds, and were soon forced to evacuate from Russia. This boxing tournament took place in the last weeks of the British presence in Crimea.
