Documentary 1918 5 mins Silent

Overview

Dramatic footage of Italian and British troops on the front line and airborne. Shots of Italian troops on the mountainous Italy/Austria front line are followed by some vivid aerial footage, and a British 12 inch howitzer being prepared for firing at the German lines. The date of this footage is uncertain: the latter sections with the howitzer are likely to date from 1916.
