This painting shows baggage waggons followed by weary troops and their families toiling along the road to Carlisle at Newtown. This road followed the canal from Port Carlisle, where steamers are likely to have brought the troops from Ireland. There is no historical significance to the troops' presence in the painting however. The artist's sister, Anne, modelled for the soldier's wife with child. Carlisle canal is visible on the left and the Carlisle skyline can be seen in the distance. Bough's great skill at handling weather effects can be seen in the showery sky.
