A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts three middle-aged, light-skinned men in the center of the composition, looking into the distance left of the frame. The two men on the right wear either full or partial military garb, whereas the man on the left wears a suit and fedora hat. Some kind of wires extend behind them, perhaps holding up an outdoor tent.
