Lionel Dunsterville Diary

An online record of the 1918 diary of General Lionel Dunsterville, commander of Dunsterforce.

This is a web record pointing to the diary of British General Lionel Dunsterville. Dunsterville commanded Dunsterforce, the British detachment sent to Baku in the summer of 1918, which took part in the city's defence during the Army of Islam's Baku operation. The diary is valuable to the collection as a first-hand British account of the fighting around Baku and the September 1918 evacuation.
