Summary: Newsreel item on Army manoeuvres on Salisbury Plain, probably 1925.
Description: The captions stress that, although "not quite the Flanders variety" there is still a lot of mud in the battle for "our now almost wholly mechanised Army". In the rain small patrols of Cavalry and Infantry make their way across the plain. Carden-Loyd Mark II carriers and Burford-Kegresse half-tracks follow the patrols. Rolls-Royce armoured cars lead columns of trucks down dirt roads (there is not, in fact, much mud, but all look miserable).
