Scene depicting men at war. In the foreground, two men work together to carry a third man. One of the men carries a rifle in his outstretched hand; the other man has a large drum on his back. There is a crowd of men in the background clustered around the left and right sides of the illustration. There appears to be a pile of corpses at the center of the battlefield. The men on the right ride horses and hold spears. The men on the left turn their backs on the approaching regiment. 2/3-page illustration contained within a single-ruled border.
