No, the whites. There were also tons of Serbs fighting in Siberia for RUssia. I have some info, I'll post it later.

Do you mean they supported Whites?
I know that in Russia some prisoners of war from former AH joined either Red or White armies depending on their views.

How could they get there? Is like asking how the Aussies got to Gallipoli, 20,000km away.
Ah never mind thanks for the help!

^ Because they were fighting for Britain and Britain controlled the seas. Getting to Turkey through places in the British empire like Egypt is easy. Now answer her question properly

I only know that after the revolution belochehi (White Czechs ) were very active fighters on White side - they were former prisoners of war (who had had to fight for AH before they were captured, and since a lot of them were not loyal to AH they mostly surrendered willingly to Russians), loyal to the Entente (and Russian Whites), since the Entente promised them their own state. So they took Entente's commands and tried to support Whites.
