A print of a photograph of five officers seated outside of a log cabin. A tent is stretch out to form the roof on the well constructed log cabin. The cabin has a brick chimney topped with a barrel. An A-frame tent with a brick chimney is behind the cabin. A high ranking officer sits in the center and wears a badge on his coat [perhaps, a 6th Corps badge]. One of the men wears a non-regulation checker-patterned coat. The number "155" appears at the top center of the photograph. It was probably scratched into the negative plate by the photographer. Verso notations: "223."
