  Thanks B-59 for finding the published photograph and for the information about the Winter Battle of the Masurian Lakes. We will add more details when we update the image description.

  Caption B-59's first link is "Field Bakery on the March in East Prussia." This is a photo by Alfred Kühlewindt (1870-1945), who took a number of photos of the fighting on the Eastern Front. www.fotografenwiki.org/index.php/Alfred_K%C3%BChlewindt "Alfred Kühlewindt, who took this photograph, was allowed to enter the battlefield as a war photographer in the fall of 1914. Many photographs of the German front line were staged. The new manner of waging war with long-range artillery, not to mention the no-man’s-land between opposing trench lines, made photographing battle scenes very difficult. As a result, photographs of still scenes (where exposure times were not an issue) circulated in far higher numbers than shots of active combat." germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/sub_image.cfm?image_id=2125
