There is plenty of evidence to show that many American and British soldiers returned from Siberia with Russian wives. I found a record in the National Archives compiled by the British headquarters in Vladivostock, which lists some of the women that qualified through marriage for evacuation by sea passage. Other discoveries from university and regimental archives included the Vancouver newspaper article in the photograph below, which reports that among the 1,226 soldiers brought by the SS Monteagle were 76 Canadians and a Hampshire sergeant who married a Russian woman on board the ship.
In the case of Warrant Officer Emerson MacMillan, who was a prisoner with Brian Horrocks, his betrothed qualified as a nurse in the American Red Cross while he was in training with the Inns of Court OTC. She served in Vladivostok while Emerson was in Omsk, but did not see him because the Red Cross forbade nurses from having any relationships with men while on duty. However, while he was a prisoner-of-war in Moscow, Dallas waited for him in England and when he returned, they married in London.
The MacMillans later lived in the USA, Brazil, Portugal and Switzerland. During World War II, Emerson tracked German agents in Brazil and was awarded an OBE for his work for MI6.
