Summary: I. Newsreel item on a wrecked Serbian gun near Belgrade, Serbia, October 1914.
II. Newsreel item on French cyclist troops in training, Western Front, 1914 or early 1915.
Description: The French-made gun (no identification, but possibly a 155mm naval gun) rests in its emplacement with its breech-block removed. The caption says it was destroyed in the Austrian attack which took Belgrade in October.
