Summary: The attack on Saint Julien by 39th Division, Western Front, 31 July 1917.
Description: A very broken film. A gunner with two horses out of control plunges past startled soldiers in a trench. Explosions in the distance. A view of no man's land. 18-pounder field guns are brought up past a trench and wounded on stretchers come back the other way. Behind the lines, German prisoners are used as stretcher bearers. Horses carrying 18-pounder shells in panniers move up.
