9 January 1918 (Old Style: 27 December 1917): The Volunteer Army, a central formation of the "White Army," was formally announced, under the leadership of generals Mikhail Alekseyev, former chief of the imperial staff, & Lavr Kornilov (of the eponymous Affair); based in the city of Rostov-on-Don, the army from the outset strove to form a united anti-Bolshevik front with the Don Cossacks.
Lest we forget.
