What the image shows: A black album page holds nine black-and-white photographs, each with a white handwritten-style caption beneath it. The images show mounted soldiers riding in a street parade with spectators along the roadside, horse-drawn artillery gun carriages on a tree-lined road, and a group of men in dark coats standing on a stone building's steps. Other views show a column of marching soldiers and artillerymen, a horse-drawn field kitchen on a dirt road, and soldiers resting in a grassy roadside ditch.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
