In the foreground, soldiers on horseback traverse a rugged landscape while accompanied by loyal canine companions. Their determined expressions reflect their commitment to their mission amidst challenging circumstances. As our gaze extends further into the frame, we are greeted by quaint cottages nestled against Kertch Bay's picturesque backdrop. These humble dwellings stand as reminders of ordinary lives disrupted by war's harsh realities. McCulloch's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this historical snapshot.
