The Horrors of World War One - Caucasus, Southern Russia (later USSR, Soviet Union).
Title: "Les Horreurs de la Guerre".
Road of Sarikamish after Turkish Army retreat, December 1914. Panning shot of many dead bodies lying in snow along side of muddy road Soldiers at work digging a mass grave in the frozen ground (could be Russians supervising & POWs actually doing the digging). Men throwing corpses off a cart and dropping them into the snow. More soldiers digging trench / mass grave. Panning shot on many bodies lying close together. Bodies on hillside in foreground, trucks driving on road down hill in background. Various CUs bodies lying in snow - they are frozen and decomposing. Dog eating corpse.
