Notes: Title: this is taken from the shotsheet
Summary: see also IWM 290. This film is in effect part of the AUGUST OFFENSIVE group, but did not have that designation as part of its title
Remarks: impressive material giving a good sense of action. It strains credulity that both cameraman and still photographer should happen to record the instant a shell hit a Cavalry column, but the photographs may be film stills
