Summary: I. Newsreel item on a German Army camp, possibly at Bergen-Belsen, north of Hanover, 1914.
II. Newsreel item on Belgian soldiers north of Ypres, Western Front, October or November 1914.
III. Newsreel item on a Territorial Army camp, probably in Britain, autumn 1914.
Description: A pan over the wooden-hutted camp, with a few soldiers in the distance. The caption reads "Where they cannot pillage - German soldiers 'lock up' at Bergen" (see notes).
Four soldiers gather around a brazier to keep warm. According to the caption they are guarding a railway bridge on the Ypres-Dixmude line, which except for a small area near Elverdinghe was nearly all in German hands.
The men are cooking in the open, at a large camp kitchen which gives off a considerable amount of steam; some of the men peel potatoes.
