A child's pencil sketch on a sheet of lined paper depicting several humanoid figures and a few vehicles. At the top of the page is an illustration of a helicopter with a pilot and two passengers that is being fired upon from the ground by two trucks full of people armed with machine guns. Next to the truck illustrations are two human figures, one of whom is very small and may be a child while the other appears to be a soldier who is wearing camouflage and carrying a rifle. Another soldier with a rifle is also seen near the bottom of the page firing his weapon into a house and setting its roof on fire. Also seen are depictions of a woman with a baby on her back, a raised dump truck, and a tank.
