Summary: Incidents during 15th (Scottish) Division's advance towards the lower Seine.
Description: Infantrymen belonging to the 7th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders march through countryside towards Emanville, a village situated six miles south of Le Neubourg, and are treated to glasses of cider by a local French family. Civilian cyclists and a jeep belonging to a 19th US Corps unit and a Fordson 15-cwt truck from 227th Brigade HQ head into Le Neubourg under the direction of a military policeman on traffic duty. The cameraman surveys the unspoilt countryside of the Eure valley around the town of Louviers three miles from the Seine. A few miles further upstream, the cameraman examines a bridge which once spanned the Eure before being blown-up by the Germans in order to delay the Allied advance to the Seine.
