Campement à l'Arrière [Encampment Behind the Lines]

image: An encampment of soldier's shanties behind the lines. In the foreground two poilus are seated at a rough table playing cards and are watched by a third figure carrying two buckets, his back turned towards the viewer. To the left of the composition there stands a primitive hut the entrance of which is blocked by two more poilus engaged in similar activity. To the right of this group a further figure stands head bent over a large steaming tub. In the background stand several more huts outside of which two soldiers stand deep in conversation, another walking away from a tethered horse.
