Yes, it is set during the Battle of Bazeilles and the last stand of some surrounded French soldiers until they run out of ammunition.

This should be WWI, 1914 more precisely as the rifles are Lebel modèle 1886 as far as I can tell.
This is Battle of Lodz in 1914: a very bloody affair, it's mind-blowing thinking how many good men uselessly died in these wars.

>>961748
The filename says 1888

>>961797
lol I saw it only now, then it is 1888.
I associated it with representing a war action and all details fit well.
It's crazy thinking they went into German machine guns dressed like that in August 1914.
