Here the subject is a body of British cavalry shown in the aftermath of an attack, a scene the caption ties to the First World War, though the record itself gives no date. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, the archive of the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that distributed news pictures to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Its catalogers note that the title is unverified and was taken from the negatives or caption cards, so the exact moment and location remain uncertain. Cavalry charges had largely given way to trench warfare by the time of the Great War, which makes such images worth reading with that context in mind.
