EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the 1st Company of the 10th Regiment of the Russian Imperial Army, stationed at Port Arthur prior to the Russo-Japanese War. The image, taken in an official setting, showcases the soldiers in their finest uniforms, standing proudly in a neat formation against the backdrop of a Chinese city or town. Port Arthur, a strategic port in the Liaoning Province of China, was of great importance to both Russia and Japan, and the impending conflict would soon engulf this location. The 1st Company, a part of the 10th Regiment of the Russian Army, would have been among the first to experience the brutal realities of war. The Russo-Japanese War, which began in 1904, was a significant turning point in world history, marking the decline of the Russian Empire and the emergence of Japan as a major world power. The soldiers in this photograph, with their stern expressions and military bearing, convey a sense of determination and resolve. Their uniforms, adorned with decorations and insignia, reflect their pride in their regiment and their country. The photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides. The scene depicted in this photograph is reminiscent of the historic Chinese cities and towns that once flourished in the Liaoning Province, such as Lushunkou (Port Arthur) and Dalian (Ryojun). The photograph is a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the complex political and military dynamics of the time. This image, by Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online, is an essential addition to any collection of military history or Russian and East Asian history.
