content: A charcoal and watercolor drawing on paper of a German soldier surrendering at Pomme in the St. Mihiel Salient in France. The German soldier is standing at right with his arms raised in surrender. He is wearing an olive drab coat and gray pants and has a bag and cannister srapped across his chest. Another German soldier, apparently dead, is lying on the ground at his feet. Next to the dead soldier is a machine gun ammunition belt. A third dead soldier is visible behind the surrendering soldier. The soldiers are situated in a pile of rubble from a collapsed wall behind them. A village, presumably Pomme, can be seen in the distance at left. Beneath the drawing at left is written in pencil by the artist "We found some machine gunners / at Pomme - St. Mihiel Salient"
