Early 20th Century quote from British General Dunsterville, describing himself as

 

... a British General on the Caspian (Baku), the only sea unploughed before by British keels, on board a ship named after a South African president and whilom enemy, sailing from a Persian port, under the Serbian flag, to relieve from the Turks a body of Armenians in a revolutionary Russian town.

 

Sums up the situation nicely I think! BTW, the flag was just the Russian imperial flag turned upside down!
