A wet and wintry scene depicting soldiers unloading lorries full of industrial equipment and parts, by a railway track just visible on the far left. Four men in their shirt sleeves carry sacks and heavy metal beams across their shoulders towards the track on the left, a fifth in the bottom right corner carrying a sack, and two more standing in the back of the lorry to the right, unloading. A second lorry is parked behind them, with three men unloading metal beams. Houses are visible in the distance to the right, between the vehicles. The scene is stylistically painted.
