Attack of the first artillery regiment, S. of Shihtsuytse, at Port Arthur Possibly 1894

"Attack of the First Field Artillery Regiment, S. of Shihtsuytse, at Port Arthur" is a photograph taken by the Ordnance Survey Office in 1894. The photograph depicts a hilly landscape with a winding road, likely in the vicinity of Port Arthur, China. The scene is devoid of people or any sign of combat, suggesting a preparatory image taken before or after an attack. This photograph serves as a historical record of military operations during the First Sino-Japanese War and the subsequent Russo-Japanese War. The image's muted tones and focus on landscape create a sense of quiet anticipation or aftermath, reflecting the somber nature of war.
