EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the First World War, as German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II crosses the temporary bridge erected over the Strypa River in Western Ukraine. The image, taken between 1914 and 1918, depicts the Kaiser in full military regalia, leading his troops into the heart of the conflict. The bridge, constructed to enable the German army's advance, spans the turbulent waters of the Strypa River, which winds through the Carpathian Mountains. The scene is one of both determination and danger, as the Kaiser and his men brave the elements and the uncertainty of the battlefield. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War, and the indelible mark it left on European history. The John Barrett Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library preserves this historical moment, offering a glimpse into the past and a testament to the courage and resilience of those who lived through it.
