Thebudding young Hungarian artist Béla Zombory-Moldován was on holidaywhen the First World War broke out in July 1914. Called up by the army,he soon found himself hundreds of miles away, advancing on Russian linesand facing relentless rifle and artillery fire. Badly wounded, hereturned to normal life, which now struck him as unspeakably strange. Hehad witnessed, he realized, the end of a way of life, of a whole world.
