Yours Ask

This is a photograph of a group of soldiers standing in formation. The image shows rows of uniformed soldiers, standing at attention, aligned in a precise formation. The soldiers are wearing uniforms that include brimmed hats and boots. They are lined up neatly in rows on a dirt surface with poles and wiring visible in the background. A large sign adorns the background, and several buildings or structures can be seen in the distance. This is a stereoscopic image, comprising two almost identical, side-by-side photographs.
