Soldiers leaving for war

As I have to draw the soldiers leaving for war I decided to do some research into images that were taken in world war one of the soldiers on the trains leaving to give me an idea of what everything looked like. Here are some images that I found on the internet.

To create my image I will think about all of the different elements of these scenes and put them together to create an image that really tells a story of what is happening.
