Ellis C. H. The British Intervention In Transcaspia 1918-1919
http://www.archive.org/stream/britishintervent002569mbp/britishintervent002569mbp_djvu.txt
On August 8th Malleson was authorized by headquarters in India
to afford limited military and financial assistance to the Transcaspian government. So far, however, the War Office in London had confined itself to taking note of Malleson's moves. On the loth the company of infantry and a machine-gun section crossed the frontier at Muhammedabad to Artyk, a station on the Central Asian railway. To aid the now hard-pressed Transcaspian army, the British-Indian machine-gun section was sent up the line with orders to assist Colonel Oraz Sirdar in consolidating a new position astride the railway.
On August 1 3th the Tashkent *Red* forces attacked, driving the
defenders, who took to the armoured trains, back to Dushakh, nearly 100 miles to the rear. The British, machine-gun section later joined the defenders at this point, playing an active part in covering a further retreat several days later to a more defensible position at Kaakha.
The action at Dushakh, although little more than a skirmish,
brought British and Indian forces into conflict with Russians in Central Asia for the first time.
В общем, по британской версии - "почти победа".
