Black-and-white photo of seven uniformed soldiers seated closely together on the floor inside a metal-walled interior, wearing helmets and military gear. In the foreground sits Sgt. Gander, a large black dog facing the camera with a collar visible. The soldiers rest their arms on each other’s shoulders and knees, some looking toward the camera, with bags and equipment placed around their feet.
