EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the brave and resolute face of Lt George Schack-Sommer, an Old Etonian and Londoner who distinguished himself in the brutal battles of the First World War. Awarded the St. George's Cross, the Russian equivalent of the Victoria Cross, for his gallant conduct while fighting with the Artisky Hussars in the Dukla Pass, Carpathians, during an engagement in the spring of 1915, Schack-Sommer's valor and courage in the face of the enemy were unwavering. The First World War, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. The Eastern Front, where Schack-Sommer fought, was a brutal and unforgiving theater of war, with harsh weather conditions and relentless combat. The Dukla Pass, located in the Carpathian Mountains, was a strategic location that saw intense fighting between the Russian and Austro-Hungarian armies. Schack-Sommer, a member of the Akhtyrsky Schack-Sommer Hussars, a Russian cavalry regiment, stood out for his bravery and leadership during these engagements. The St. George's Cross, a decoration of the Russian Imperial Order of St. George, was awarded to him in recognition of his exceptional valor and dedication to duty. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Schack-Sommer during the First World War. It is a testament to their courage, determination, and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardships and danger. The St. George's Cross, proudly displayed on Schack-Sommer's chest, is a symbol of his heroism and the enduring legacy of the men and women who served in the Great War.
