Charcoal and watercolor sketch on paper. The sketch shows a line of American troops advancing, walking from the left to the right. Behind them, past a small field, there is a line of wagons, horses, and possibly artillery pieces moving through the town. In the background are several buildings and low hills. This scene was sketched during the final months of World War I.
