EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the First World War, as Russian artillery pieces and their accompanying horses and soldiers make their way across a ford near St. Petersburg. Dated between 1914 and 1918, this image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of war time transportation. The artillery, essential for the defense and offense of the Russian army, must be moved to various locations to support troops in the field. The scene is set along the banks of a river, with the water gently flowing over the stones and pebbles, creating a stark contrast to the heavy machinery and the determined expressions of the soldiers and gunners. The horses, harnessed to the artillery pieces, wade through the water with a sense of purpose, their hooves leaving ripples in the calm surface. The men, dressed in heavy coats and hats, carefully maneuver the guns, ensuring they remain stable as they cross the ford. The scene is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Russian army during this tumultuous period. The image is filled with a sense of urgency, as the soldiers and horses make their way through the water, knowing that the lives of their comrades and the outcome of the war depend on their successful crossing. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the unwavering determination of the soldiers who fought in it.
