EDITORS COMMENTS
August 1916: A Romanian Cavalryman Stands Ready for Battle This evocative image, taken from the front cover of the Illustrated London News, captures the determination and courage of a Romanian cavalryman as he prepares for battle on the Eastern Front during World War I. The photograph was published shortly after Romania entered the war on the Allies' side on August 27, 1916. The Romanian army, which numbered around 720,000 men, joined the Allied forces with the aim of regaining control of Transylvania, a region that had been occupied by Austria-Hungary since the late 17th century. The entry of Romania into the war marked a significant turning point in the conflict, as it allowed the Allies to divert German forces from the Western Front to the Eastern Front. The Romanian cavalryman in this photograph wears the traditional uniform of the Romanian army, which included a blue tunic, red trousers, and a fur-trimmed greatcoat. He sits confidently in the saddle of his horse, his face set with a steely resolve. The horse, too, seems alert and ready for action. The Illustrated London News was a leading British weekly newspaper at the time, known for its high-quality illustrations and reporting on current events. This photograph, which was published on December 2, 1916, would have been seen by thousands of readers in Britain and beyond, helping to bring the war in Romania to the attention of the wider world. Today, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the Romanian people during World War I and the important role they played in the larger European conflict. It also underscores the enduring power of photography to capture history in the making.
