The sculpture depicts a mounted soldier leading a procession of infantry soldiers. The soldier is in a seated position on a horse, with several figures of infantrymen behind, holding rifles upright, and carrying rolled-up blankets or sleeping bags on their backs. Above them, a draped figure is depicted in a flowing, horizontal pose, with one hand extended. The sculpture is made of a material resembling bronze, showing a notable patina that lends a dark brownish to grey hue with weathered streaks. The sculpture features detailed elements such as the creases in the clothing, the mane of the horse, and the facial expressions of the figures, providing a sense of dynamic movement.
