Here are some of the dates which I promised,
but it falls short of what I intended - I'll search again.
besides at Aug 1st 1919, the White reached Kamyshin, but then didn't push
further north,
but veered towards Tomsk (to the west). > the Mamontov Raid.

so, if one can have a detailed map of GR villages, one will see which ones were
affected.

1919

End of April - Wrangel takes command of the white cavalry.

12 June - Wrangel reaches Tsaritsyn. Denikin does not give him the requested
artillery and infantry support.

13 June - Wrangel attacks but cannot overcome Red defences. He falls back. He
lost one quarter of his men and officers.

28 Jun - Reinforcements for Wrangel arrive from Denikin.

29 June - Wrangel resumes attack on Tsaritsyn.

1 July - The Reds were beaten. Mop-up operations commence.

2 July - Wrangel enters Tsaritsyn. Denikin arrives.

Mid-August - Reds counterattack and force Wrangel's advance to the north to stop

*** this must be the period when he reached Kamyshin.(aug 1st and then leaves
again)

and retreat to Tsaritsyn begins.

Late August - Mamontov raid northward to Tambov.

Mid October - Denikin threatens Moscow. Whites overextended.
