Summary: Possibly part of French Army newsreel covering French preparedness.
Description: Film (incomplete) celebrates the power of the French Army's massive GPF (Grande Puissance, Filloux) 194mm tracked self-propelled gun, showing it moving across country and along a road into position. Another version, railway-mounted is loaded with a 900 kilo shell and raises its barrel in anticipation. Commentary praises the rapidity and power of the weapon, plus its resistance and longevity, having already proved itself in the Great War.
