The Volunteer Army (Russian: Добровольческая армия, romanized: Dobrovolcheskaya armiya (pre-1918 Russian) Добровольческая армія, abbreviated to Russian: Добрармия, romanized: Dobrarmiya (pre-1918 Russian) Добрармія)[1] was a White Army active in South Russia during the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1920. The Volunteer Army fought against Bolsheviks and the Makhnovists on the Southern Front and the Ukrainian War of Independence. On 8 January 1919, it was made part of the Armed Forces of South Russia, becoming the largest force of the White movement until it was merged with the Army of Wrangel in March 1920.
