| Reverse description | The entire field is occupied by a full-colour printed scene depicting a field artillery piece—identified as a 105mm Light Gun—in a camouflaged emplacement, with several soldiers attending to the weapon. Spent shell casings are visible in the foreground, and a barren Falklands landscape extends into the background under an overcast sky. |
