Description
Two soldiers stand to attention in an office while a third sits behind the desk. The two standing soldiers have full tropical uniforms, shorts instead of trousers, and hats. One is positioned directly in front of the desk and the other is to the left of the desk. The officer at the desk is also in uniform, but wears no hat. He is sitting with his back to the window, through which light is streaming, casting dark shadows across the floor.
