An elderly couple sit on wooden crates facing each other with heads bowed. On the left, the woman is dressed in a red top and grey skirt with black purse in lap and umbrella leaning on her right. The white-haired man, on the right, wears brown pants and a blue button-down sweater over a white shirt with a red tie. He holds a brown hat in his hands. A suitcase with tag stands on his left in foreground. In the background, view of a mess hall with smoking chimney and tops of barracks. coddpp An elderly couple sit on wooden crates facing each other with heads bowed.
