The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people walking on a dirt road. The road appears to be in a mountainous area, as there are rocks and debris scattered along the sides. The people are walking in a line, with some carrying bags and other items on their backs. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber. The photograph is captioned "Après la prise de Craonne" which translates to "April's the first day of the crane" in English.
