In 1920 the 42nd Consolidated Heavy Armoured "Plastun" detachment of the Red Army which was operating at the Kakhovka bridgehead (ru) contained six Garfords, "Antikhrist" ("antichrist"), "Moshni" ("powerful"), "Krasnii Bogatyr" (Red Bogatyr), "Pygachev" (probably named for Yemelyan Pugachev ) and two vehicles of unknown names. In tight defensive conditions, which were generally uncharacteristic of the Russian Civil War, the Reds used the Garfords of the 42nd armoured detachment as a mobile anti-tank reserve against British-made tanks which at that time were part of the make up of the White forces. The armoured vehicles of the Red Army operated quite effectively although at least one Garford of the 42nd Armoured Detachment was destroyed. Apart from this there is known to have been one more Garford included in the defensive forces of the bridgehead and likely the cannon equipped armoured car "Mgrebrov-white". With the defeat of the White Army more Garfords fell into the hands of the Red Army and, in the end, of the 48 Garfords built at least 30 were in the Red Army.
