Typical scene in the village of Suchodoly in Eastern Galicia. Most of the dwellings were destroyed during the Austro-Russian campaigns. All these people live in the underground shelter covered with logs and straw before the entrance of which they are standing. Such over crowding creates a condition favorable to the spread of typhus and other infectious diseases. The building in the background shows that reconstruction had begun
