As prelude to THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME after the interval, the first half offered seven short subjects from other fronts and sectors, of which this film was one. Remarks: by varying camera distance and angle, and by some inspired editing between shots, the makers of this film have done the impossible in making a marchpast look interesting - a vast improvement on the usual one-angle marchpast films of the period
