EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the Battle of Sarikamish during the First World War's Caucasus Campaign. Fought between December 22, 1914, and January 17, 1915, in the Choruk Valley of the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey), this battle saw the Russian forces, led by General Ivan Savitsky, successfully repel the Ottoman Turkish Army. The Ottoman troops, broken and demoralized, are seen here in a chaotic retreat, with their horses and supplies in disarray. The Russian soldiers, having seized the initiative and exploited a critical bottleneck in the Turkish defenses, pursued their adversaries relentlessly. The Battle of Sarikamish marked a significant victory for the Russians, clearing the way for further advances into the Caucasus region. This historical image offers a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during this pivotal moment in world history.
