EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of the Turkish retreat from Erzerum Fortress in 1916, following Russia's successful seizure of the strategic stronghold on 16th February. The fortress, located in modern-day Turkey, had been a key objective for the Russian forces during the Eastern Front of World War I. The defeat of the Turkish army resulted in the capture of over 13,000 Turkish soldiers, marking a significant victory for the Russian forces. The image portrays a somber scene as Turkish soldiers, many with weary expressions, make their way through the snowy landscape, leaving behind the fortress that had once been a symbol of their resistance. The Russian soldiers, who had fought bravely to secure the fortress, can be seen in the background, watching the retreating Turkish army with a mix of relief and triumph. The capture of Erzerum Fortress was a turning point in the Eastern Front of World War I, and this photograph provides a poignant reminder of the human cost of the conflict. The defeat of the Turkish army marked the beginning of the end for the Ottoman Empire, which was on the brink of collapse due to the military and economic pressures of the war. The events of 1916 would ultimately lead to the end of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of modern-day Turkey. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique insight into the historical significance of the Turkish retreat from Erzerum Fortress, and the wider impact of World War I on the Ottoman Empire and the region as a whole.
