The title on this glass negative, "Russian Poles in war zone," points to Polish communities under Russian rule, a region that became a battleground when the First World War reached Eastern Europe in 1914. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, so the wording and the identification of the subject are unverified. Bain was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers, and its wartime images often show soldiers, refugees and civilians caught up in the fighting. Treat the specific details of this scene as a working description rather than a confirmed fact.
