French military on the march. Up the top of this image there appears to be some fortification. Possibly constructed for a short stay. Snapsacks can be seen here, and quite large ones too. Also notice the dog is being used as a pack animal.
Other items of interest are shot pouches, a kettle being carried on the stock of a musket over the shoulder, and a large belt axe.
1755ad.
I lioke old pictures for the same reason I like old novels; what were current events then is history now!
