Title taken from inscription penciled in on top right corner of photograph. Image of 36 soldiers gathered around a cannon. A sergeant stands to the right of the canon with his arm raised, as if giving the order to fire. A private to the left of the canon holds a ram rod, suggesting that the cannon had just been loaded. Several of the men's faces are blurred, but the cannon appears in sharp focus.
