| Description | Two soldiers in uniform, with bundles on sticks over their soldiers, walk from left to right, past a country tavern. On the right is a milestone marked 'XXI MILES'. A yokel and a large man in a wig look at the soldiers through the window of the tavern. On the wall are pasted various notices. One reads 'TWENTY GUINEAS REWARD Whereas Two Cowardly Paltroon in Red Jackets hearing of the Enemys Landing have deserted from the Cmpay. of [...] Volunteers [...] four feet and a half high sheep faced by trade a taylor, the other four feet three inches, cast in his eyes by trade a pinmaker [...] Matthew Ferret Secty.' Beneath that is a poster advertising: 'Cudgel Play for a New Hat'. The soldier on the left looks back at the tavern, the one on the right says: "Keep on Jack - we have no time to read handbills."
