EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration depicts a Russian officer, triumphantly standing before the captured Turkish fortifications of Erzerum in Armenia during the First World War. The year was 1916, and the Russian army, under the command of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaievitch, was making significant gains against the Ottoman Empire. The fortifications of Erzerum had long been a point of contention between the two powers, and their capture represented a significant strategic victory for the Russians. The Russian officer in the illustration wears the distinctive uniform of the Imperial Russian Army, complete with the Order of St. George, a decoration awarded for valor in battle. His expression is one of determination and pride, reflecting the intense effort and sacrifice that went into the successful siege of Erzerum. The snow-covered landscape and smoky skyline in the background add to the sense of harsh winter conditions and the raw power of the conflict. This illustration is taken from a photograph in the collection of General Doubasky, providing a unique and personal glimpse into the events of the Eastern Front during the First World War. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in this far-off land, and the significant impact their actions had on the course of the war.
