Note on verso: "Chu Teh, commander-in-chief, holding a pow-wow with some of his men. This is a very rare picture. Chu Teh is famous for his simplicity of dress, speech, manners, etc. During times of great hardship on the Long March, he insisted on going without shoes when his men had none, and always eats the same food as the ordinary solders. Note here that he doffs his hat to address his troops, a practice common among Red Army commanders. This picture was taken as Chu Teh congragulated a machine gunners squad after the Red Army had 'broken the Fourth Great Offensive of the Enemy," at Yung Fehg, Kiangsi.
