The image shows a group of approximately 30 boys and young men posing for a portrait in an outdoor setting. They are positioned in three rows — those in the front row are seated on the grass, while the middle and back rows are standing. Each individual is wearing a uniform that includes a wide-brimmed hat, short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and knee-high socks. Some of them are holding long sticks or poles. The background features a line of tall trees, suggesting a forested area, and the group is situated on a grassy field. The photograph appears to be in black and white, with no visible modern objects.
