Bolshevik Assault on Allied Lines Thwarted With Losses
Severe Bolshevik attack aimed at cutting the Dina and Vara lines was repulsed by American and Russian units near Gor Kaled, 15 miles north of Beresnik. The First Battalion of the Sixth Soviet Regiment, 600 strong, failed to breach the Gorka position as the American Russian detachment held entrenched lines and captured five prisoners and five machine guns. American casualties were minimal with one wounded. Reports say Bolsheviks suffered heavy losses last week, while many Blockhouses near Vaga were razed and defenses partially destroyed before retreat by Allied forces.
