The image is a black and white photograph of a group of soldiers walking through a field. The field appears to be dry and barren, with patches of grass and shrubs scattered throughout. The sky is overcast and there is a large plume of smoke or dust rising from the ground. The soldiers are walking in a line, with some carrying rifles and other weapons. They are all wearing helmets and appear to be in the midst of a battle. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the sky. The overall mood of the image is tense and somber.
