1904 Burial Dead Body Death Hill Large Group Of People Only Men Russo Japanese War Soldier Stealing Non Urban Scene Stealth


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, we are transported to the somber aftermath of a battle on 203 Metre Hill. The landscape is marred by death and destruction, as soldiers stealthily move through the scene, collecting cartridges from fallen comrades before their burial. The image portrays a large group of men engaged in this solemn task, highlighting the immense scale of loss experienced during wartime. Only men can be seen in this non-urban setting, emphasizing the gendered nature of combat at that time. The composition is horizontal, allowing us to take in the vastness of both the hill and its tragic consequences. The day appears overcast and gloomy, mirroring the heavy atmosphere surrounding these fallen heroes. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of war's devastating toll on human life. It captures not only physical landscapes but also emotional ones – grief and sorrow etched upon each soldier's face as they silently honor their fallen comrades. As an archival piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), it offers a glimpse into history while evoking empathy for those who sacrificed everything on that fateful November day in 1904. Let us remember them with reverence and strive for peace so that such scenes may never be repeated again.
