Meanwhile, there are quite a few things going on among the tents of the camp. |
Meanwhile, on the southern approaches to the town, the Prussians have set up a check point, placing cheveau de frise barriers across the road. A striped guard house lets people know that this is a military site. The local citizens come out of their houses to take a closer look at the invaders.

Another check point at the southern approach to the town. The citizens are not sure what to make of the Prussian |
Further away from the southern checkpoint, everything is quiet and bacoulic. Wagons deliver grain to the Prussian camp and a man tends to his garden.
