The title names Polish volunteers serving in the German army, though the record notes that it comes from unverified caption data supplied by the Bain News Service. Bain's agency sold news photographs to newspapers from the early 1900s, and its glass negatives often document the wartime news of the years before and during World War I. During that conflict, Germany and Austria-Hungary competed with the Allies for Polish support in territories they occupied, and recruiting Poles was a contested political question. The record gives no date or location, so the specific event remains uncertain.
