The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men standing in front of a stone archway. The archway appears to be part of a fort or a castle, as there is a flagpole with a Canadian flag flying at half-mast on top. The men are dressed in military uniforms and are standing in a line, facing the camera. They are all looking towards the right side of the image.

In the center of the archway, there is an older man wearing a suit and tie, who is standing with his hands in his pockets. He is holding a rifle in his left hand and a flag in his right hand. To his right, there are several other men wearing similar uniforms and hats, also holding rifles. They appear to be posing for the photo. The background shows a hill and a building with a window on the left side. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
