'The Destruction of a Polish Village', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'In her great and masterly retreat Russia ruthlessly put to the flame towns and villages rather than that a single grain of wheat or piece of material of the slightest use should fall into the hands of the enemy, thus repeating the historic tactics of the famous retreat from Moscow.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. IV, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
