Kuvaus: The battery canters into a field and unlimbers, deploying its guns, then relimbers and canters off. The battery canters in column head-on out of the field and turns away when close to the camera. One limber comes back in the opposite direction. (Note the 'linked horseshoe' divisional badge on the limbers.) Limbered-up guns canter over a bump facing away from the camera - one gun overturns in the process and another is already lying wrecked nearby. The battery including outriders canters through and along a deep stream, throwing up a lot of spray.
