Russia n Bolsheviks of Yakov Ivanovich Triapitsyn attacked an American army camp at Romanovka , Siberia near Vladivostok .

Lieutenant Lawrence Butler was in command of the American garrison at Romanovka . His seventy - six men of Company A , 31st Infantry , were encamped at the base of a hill within the town limits . On the night of June 24 , 1919 , Lieutenant Butler placed a sentry at the top of the hill to watch for any approaching enemies . However , at 4 : 00 am on the following morning , the sun was coming up so the sentry relieved himself to prepare for reveille . Moments later the partisans attacked and because the sentry had abandoned his post , the Russians achieved a surprise attack by gaining control of the hill and firing on the camp below . Most of the American garrison was still asleep when bullets came ripping through their tents . Within the first few minutes nineteen Americans were killed and Lieutenant Butler was wounded , having a portion of his jaw shot away and another bullet wound to one of his legs . With hand signals Butler was able to direct his men to form a firing line . The Bolsheviks , numbering around 400 men , then attempted to surround the American position but the latter retreated , first to a large wood pile and then again to the back of a cabin , all while under heavy fire . After that Butler sent one man to try to find help from other American units in the area . The messenger was shot while doing this but he managed to flag down a passing supply train guarded by a platoon of American troops under Lieutenant James Lorimar . When Lorimar learned of the situation , he dispatched half of his men to aid Lieutenant Butler in the defense of Romanovka . Lorimar ' s men found the garrison huddled together with Butler unconscious and lying on the ground near some ammunition crates . For several more moments the two sides skirmished but eventually the Bolsheviks retreated . In the end , of less than 100 American troops engaged , twenty - four were killed and another twenty - five were wounded . On the same day men of the 27th Infantry engaged partisan forces at Kraefski and Shmakovka resulting in the wounding of six more American soldiers .
