  • Popis: An overturned 18-pounder field gun with the dead bodies of its horses and crew beside it. Soldiers, including a Lewis gunner in the foreground, holding a slit trench. Cavalry officers (dismounted) hold an open air briefing while German prisoners rest nearby.The film shows a crowd of cheering children. Clynes arrives and performs the opening ceremony. The children, rather camera-shy, hold jugs of soup. A final shot of one child in close-up eating an apple.The men pose with the recruiting sergeants. They are the last conscripts from the reserved occupations such as mining. They march through the town streets. Small children march in step as they go, and a woman rushes out to kiss her husband goodbye.British troops, some resting, hold a slit trench. Other soldiers rest, eating from cans. British and French soldiers, looking tired and strained, wait in a village. Two of the Frenchmen pick up their rifles and leave.
