  • Popis: The journalists watch a demonstration of trench fighting in the training trenches. They inspect the trenches. The men of the division march past, and their commander, Brigadier-General F S Meighan, takes the salute.The Scouts parade in the castle grounds and French walks down to inspect them. Next to him is, possibly, Lieutenant-General R S S Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout. The Scouts perform a 'charge', carrying a Union Jack, across the castle lawns, then give three cheers.The Scouts are collecting fruit peel and nut shells, which are used to make the carbon for filters in gasmasks. They collect the baskets of refuse from the palace kitchens, emptying the baskets into their barrow, which they wheel out through the gates.Borden, the Canadian Prime Minister, is shown with the Mayor and officials of Cardiff seated in the picture gallery with the Canadian photographs on the walls behind them. Directly behind them is a famous 'over the top' photograph by Ivor Castle, the Canadian Official Photographer (which was in fact of a training exercise). A portrait shot of Borden.The captions describe the battery incorrectly as field artillery and suggest that it forms part of an Allied counterstroke in the Second Battle of the Marne. The men and guns of the battery splash at a canter through a shallow stream and up over a ridge (one of the limbers can be seen overturned). The battery halts and starts to deploy.
