EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history as soldiers depart for the front lines in St Petersburg, Russia, in 1917. The image, taken by an anonymous Russian photographer of the 20th century, showcases a scene filled with anticipation and uncertainty. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see rows of uniformed soldiers mounted on horses, ready to embark on their journey. The cityscape serves as a backdrop to this solemn departure - a reminder of the bustling life they are leaving behind. As these brave men bid farewell to loved ones and familiar surroundings, their faces reflect determination mixed with apprehension. The First World War had engulfed Europe at this time, and these Russian soldiers were answering the call of duty to defend their homeland. Their departure symbolizes sacrifice and patriotism amidst the chaos that war brings. The presence of horses adds another layer of poignancy to the image. These loyal animals would accompany troops into battle or serve as transportation during wartime. They too played an integral role in the conflict's narrative. As we gaze upon this historical print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of the individual stories within each soldier but also of the collective bravery displayed by those who fought during World War I. This photograph stands as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice during one of humanity's darkest periods.
