The title places this glass negative at Kartal Teji, a location the record gives only as a caption-card name, pointing toward the fighting around Adrianople (Edirne) during the First Balkan War of 1912 to 1913. Bulgarian, Serbian, Greek and Montenegrin forces challenged Ottoman control of the region, and Adrianople, a fortress city in eastern Thrace, endured a long siege before falling in March 1913. The Bain News Service, which produced this and many related images, was a commercial agency that circulated news pictures to newspapers, so the record reflects press interest in the conflict. The date is not recorded, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact site and moment are best treated as provisional.
