Stanley Washburn

Washburn (''right'') with British officer [[John Hanbury-Williams Stanley Washburn (February 7, 1878 – December 14, 1950) was an American war correspondent particularly associated with reporting on Russian operations. He covered the 1904–05 Russo-Japanese War, where he was one of the first on the battlefield to learn that peace had been agreed, followed by the Russian Revolution of 1905.

During World War One, he reported from the Eastern Front and made recommendations that the US support the Russian war effort before being reassigned to a commission sent to liaise with the Russian Provisional Government. He advocated that the US government support the Don Republic during the Russian Civil War and, in 1941, ahead of the attack on Pearl Harbor sent a message warning the leadership of the US Navy not to underestimate the Japanese.
