In the Marine Corps a year, the ranch boy has seen six months service in Hawaii, is now assigned as orderly to Colonel Lee. Marine guards patrol the base on horseback." Private First Class Brusenhan is riding a horse. The horse is looking at the camera with erect ears, as if on alert.

The horse's feet are also muddy. Grasses and trees are filling the landscape around the pair.
