  • Text: L'Artillerie russe a fait merveilles pendant la bataille de Lodz. Les Allemands ont / vu leur plan échouer complètement devant l'admirable stratégie que leur avait opposée le / Grand Duc. / La victoire remportée par les Russes n'a rien d'égale dans l'histoire. Pendant l'action, / les actes d'héroîsme furent innombrables, et le soldat russe montra une fois de plus son/ mépris de la mort et son dévouement au tsar.
