notes: label: Description
content: Charcoal and watercolor on paper of American soldiers and tanks at "Seishprey" (possibly the Battle of Seicheprey) in northern France. Depicted in the foreground are five American soldiers in olive drab uniform. Three of the soldiers are wearing helmets and carrying rifles with bayonets and advancing towards the right. Two of the soldiers are lying on the ground at center, either wounded or dead. In the background is a line of barbed wire and three camouflaged tanks (probably Renault FT light tanks). There are more soldiers in the background, apparently also advancing towards the right. The scene is bleak with a gray sky and stumps of ruined trees. Signed at bottom left by the artist, "Harvey Dunn, AEF"
