  • Beskrivelse: Well behind the lines, a mass of soldiers, most probably from 123rd Division semi-posed as if waiting for transport. A senior officer is with them, possibly Lieutenant-General de Riols de Fonclare, the commander of XV Corps. Dragoons escort the German prisoners (11 officers and 525 other ranks) to the rear. The Germans march in step and salute the camera and watching Frenchmen, breaking step on command at the end of the marchpast. (Whole episode acted ?)The soldiers are probably rear-echelon troops of II Corps. They form up in a village and march on northwards to their base, where their cook cuts up meat and prepares stew. One of the men talks with a small French girl.A trench system in the Champagne region. One party of four soldiers is firing rifle grenades. A similar party is patrolling the trench. A regimental colonel emerges from his sandbagged command post. A medical team makes its way along the trench. In a dugout to the rear some men rest and others carry hods of earth. Observers climb a tree to their post, a sentry in a gasmask keeps guard, others look out from a front line hide. A Hotchkiss machine gun is fired on a high angle for harassing purposes (given as anti-aircraft).The regiment marches past along a road in a quiet area behind the lines. Arriving at an open field the regiment deploys into column of troops and finally full line. After an inspection one officer receives the Legion of Honour. A 'charge' in successive columns of troops is made for the camera.
