Did You Know?

André Kertész fought on the Polish and Russian Fronts during World War I as a member of the Austro-Hungarian infantry.

Description

Taken on July 19, 1915, this photograph shows soldiers being marched toward the front to participate in in a combined offensive by the Astro-Hungarian and German armies against the Russians. Kertész captured the moment when one soldier turns his head to the right, revealing his profile and putting a human face on the faceless column of trudging bodies to which the photographer also belonged.
