Leírás: Pan over the countryside with shelling in the far distance and British troops moving up in the middle ground, probably 1st Division front north of Saint Quentin. A village being bombarded by shells, close enough to shake the camera. British RAMC and German prisoners posed for the camera in a slit trench, after which they climb out and attend to wheeled stretchers. A British signal unit, including a carrier for homing pigeons, resting by the roadside. German prisoners help with the wounded at an advanced dressing station. A close-up of a German prisoner with a cap, receding hairline and heavy moustache, looking old and tired, joking for the camera. German prisoners help carry British wounded, four to a stretcher. British and German walking wounded, looking miserable, rest by a roadside. British GS wagons loaded with supplies in a park. Kilted troops, possibly Cameron Highlanders, crossing a road in widely spaced columns (Artillery Formation). Shells bursting in the open field ahead.
Unedited film of British forces and German prisoners in the north of the Saint Quentin sector, Western Front, early October 1918.
