Object:Military funeral procession in Süleyman Seba Street
Description:A funeral procession of uniformed men is moving along Süleyman Seba Street. They are carrying two wreaths. The first includes a portrait of the deceased. The core of the procession is composed of officers. They are framed by two lines of soldiers carrying guns on their right shoulders. Bystanders on the sidewalk and people on balconies are watching the scene. Part of the Akaretler Sıraevleri can be seen in the background.
Comment:The procession seems to be following strict military protocol. There is no religious dignitary. The soldiers in the procession are probably students from the Harbiye military academy.
