The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people gathered around a large artillery cannon. The cannon is on the right side of the image and appears to be in the process of being loaded onto a stretcher. There are several people standing around the cannon, some of them are looking at it intently. In the background, there is a hill with trees and shrubs on either side. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber. The caption on the image reads "Osterreichische 30.5-cm-März-Batterie in Stellung nach der Einnahme des Roten-Turn-Passes" which translates to "The artillery cannon in Stelling in the Battle of the Bulge" in English.
