The Americans sent the 339th Infantry Regiment, the 310th Engineer Battalion and 310th Medical Battalion and other support units from the 85th Infantry Division to Russia.

It was decided to keep the NREF there to give aid to the White Bolsheviks. They participated in several battles. They remained there until Summer of 1919. Another force of British was sent to far eastern Russia for the same reasons. On the return home, the American painted their helmets white with a blue square with a white polar bear and adopted the name "The Polar Bear Regiment".

What is information on the 251st Infantry Regiment in World War 2?
Try going to WWW.askjeeves.com Type in 251st Infantry. This will give hits to all the web sites that contain any information on the 251th. I did this for The USS Randolph and found a couple of people who knew my Grandfather during the war and a few people who didn't but helped me alot with my research. I checked the organizations of the Infantry Divisions that were formed in WW2 and the 251st Infantry Regiment was not in any of these divisions. If a regiment was not part of a division, then it was an independent unit and possible a training unit in the US. I checked the following reference for units that served in WW2 and Korean War and it does NOT list a unit by that name/identity. Dept of Army Pamphlet 672-1 "Unit Citiation and Campaign Participation Credit Register". From some "hits" on the internet, the 251st Infantry Regiment may have existed in World War 1 but I saw nothing but more inquiries.
