"The Campaign in Russian Poland" by Percy Cross Standing is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the military operations during World War I, particularly focusing on the Eastern Theatre and the fluctuating fortunes of the Russian forces against their Austrian and German counterparts. It chronicles significant battles, troop movements, and military strategies, providing insights into both the successes and setbacks faced by the armies involved. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by discussing the pivotal capture of Lemberg by Russian forces, which marked a turning point in the campaign.
