EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The village of Cumin the scene of hard fighting. Won and lost by the Russians and the Germans again and again but now firmly held by the Russians" takes us back to a significant moment in history during World War One. Captured by George Mewes circa December 1914, it transports us to the cold and unforgiving Eastern Front. In this image, we witness soldiers from both allied armies braving harsh weather conditions as they stand guard in knee-deep snow. The chilling winter landscape serves as a stark reminder of the brutal realities faced by these brave men. The village of Cumin itself bears witness to countless battles fought between Russian and German forces, with victory swinging back and forth like a pendulum. However, at this particular moment frozen in time, it is evident that the Russians have successfully secured their hold on this strategic location. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the immense sacrifices made by these soldiers but also of their unwavering determination amidst unimaginable hardships. It serves as a poignant testament to their resilience in defending their homeland against relentless attacks. George Mewes has skillfully captured an important chapter from World War One's tumultuous history through his lens. This print stands as a powerful tribute to those who fought valiantly on both sides while shedding light on one small corner where destinies were decided amid freezing temperatures and unyielding conflict.
