Is the soldier on top of the wall holding a cannon ball in his hand?

Looks like someone else left behind a good pair of shoes and maybe some blankets.

Notice the boards in front of the blankets?  I wonder if there was tent set up there or if this is a sleeping area of sorts.

Wonder what happened to the laces on the bootees, they don't seem to be there.  I wonder if the extra stuff was thrown there in a posed sort of way to make it look even more chaotic.

The guy sitting on the overturned gun carrage is wearing false boots.

I got the impression that maybe they were cleaning up after a barrage on their position.  That would explain the overturned carraige the holes in the bales (cotton?) and jackets on the ground.
