Hear Mike Grobbel tell the extraordinary story of the men of the American North Russia Expeditionary Force, mainly from Michigan, who were stranded in a sub-arctic region of North Russia, engaged in bitter combat with the Bolshevik Red Army. Mike is the president of the Polar Bear Memorial Association and the grandson of a “Polar Bear”. His presentation will draw on the historical records and experiences of veterans of that campaign, plus his own experiences during a 2018 visit to the former front lines in northern Russia.
