Late summer
By Ernest Hemingway

... ...The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching find afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves.

我想请问其中的

(I saw)the soldiers marching find afterw
ard the road bare and white

尤其是 find afterward 何解

若"marching”修饰主语the soldiers,作为后置定语
marching 可以在这里做后置定语吗?它是动名词... 反正读起来觉得不像是后置定语的感觉

find afterwards 后来发现, 第一个marching是宾补,第二个是定语,意思是正在行军的战士。全句有两个大的并立结构,后面一个句子又分成三个小的并立结构,其中we是主语 saw是谓语.
