content: Charcoal and crayon sketch on white paper of refugees passing American soldiers on their way to the front. In the foreground, a procession of soldiers on foot and soldiers in horse-drawn wagons can be seen heading down the road on their way to the front. The wagon at center is pulling artillery. Behind the soldiers in the background, a French soldier and civilian refugee women head in the opposite direction from the Americans. The French soldier is in a blue uniform riding a white horse. Three civilian women can be seen leading or riding wagons pulled by oxen. One civilian woman at center is wearing a blue dress and brown shoes with a white scarf tied over her head. She has a brown basket on her back, another basket over her left arm and is carrying a scythe in her right hand. Signed by the artist at bottom right, "George Harding, Near Chateau Thierry, 6/10/18"
