The image is a black and white photograph of a group of soldiers in a field. The soldiers are wearing helmets and carrying backpacks, and some are holding rifles. They are standing in a line, facing towards the right side of the image. In the foreground, there is a soldier sitting on the ground with a machine gun in front of him. Behind him, there are several other soldiers standing and watching the soldiers. The field is covered in dry grass and shrubs, and there are trees in the background. The sky is cloudy and the overall mood of the photograph is tense and somber.
