A woman with a flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo, stands in profile in the left foreground, wearing an oversized, government issued G.I. jacket. In the center ground are two men dressed identically in the same jacket, pants, gloves, socks and shoes. Beyond them, three additional figures stand, similarly attired. Barracks, fences, and utility poles are visible in the background. The ground is frozen and uneven.
