Sappers and gunners pull a artillery piece up the slope over the previously laid railway
Sappers and gunners pull a artillery piece up the slope over the previously laid railway lines towards the temporary platform which has been strongly built with the trunks of trees and pine wood slabs in Poland. The approach to the platform is well graded, so that the work of hauling the gun is not to arduous. Circa 1915

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by George Mewes, we are transported back to the tumultuous era of World War One. The image showcases a remarkable display of strength and determination as sappers and gunners unite their forces to pull an artillery piece up a steep slope in Poland. The previously laid railway lines serve as a foundation for this arduous task, with the temporary platform constructed meticulously using trunks of trees and pine wood slabs. Its sturdy structure stands as a testament to the resourcefulness of these soldiers amidst the chaos of war. As we delve deeper into the photo, our eyes are drawn towards the well-graded approach leading to the platform. This thoughtful design ensures that hauling such heavy weaponry does not become excessively burdensome for those involved. It is evident that every detail has been carefully considered in order to maximize efficiency on the battlefield. Uniformed Russian soldiers can be seen working together seamlessly, exemplifying unity among allied armies during this challenging period. Their dedication is palpable, reflecting their commitment to protect their homeland against enemy forces on the Eastern Front. This poignant snapshot encapsulates both the ingenuity and resilience displayed by engineers during times of conflict. It serves as a reminder of how individuals from all walks of life came together under extraordinary circumstances, united by a common goal: defending their nations against adversity.
