Marked "Plate 12." Shows a party of stragglers from the column which is seen marching over the hill in the distance. These are the men who are most likely to shirk a battle and were to be found with their regiments only when rations were to be served out, at a safe distance from the enemy. Actual size of the image without the margins is 27.5 x 40.3 cm. Outline from matting is faintly visible. Title and image information taken from the table of contents.
