content: A charcoal sketch on beige card of a scene at Flirey. The army has gathered in the area of the church where it looms in the background to the left, taking up almost the whole height of the sketch. On the left, a broken supply cart dominates the foreground. Next to the cart are three soldiers standing and a soldier sitting down. Deeper into the painting, A covered supply cart holds up a canopy where a smoke is coming out of a pipe. To the right of that, soldiers sit on the road leading up to the church. Three trees are in the background to the right of the church. On the right side, soldiers with supply carts are coming up the road. Shell torn buildings line up the right edge of the sketch. In the sky, two parachutes are seen deployed.
