Notes: Technical: the original version was a one reel, Technicolor cartoon lasting six minutes, with marching songs of the various periods. The print viewed was a recombined colour separation master, rendered in black and white, and without soundtrack. Because of the technique used the film flickers badly and the action is very slow. The reel contains only the sequences dealing with Marlborough and Wellington.
