Probably working to suppress any magic users taking sides in the Russian Civil War. Possibly also working in Haiti and Nicaragua during the Banana Wars to bring those natives to heel. Gordon works the wars and the insurgencies. Lots of beating down natives into submission and other sneering imperialist stuff.

Probably also had a hand in things in India, as well, though the Brits were ultimately unsuccessful.
