Beskrivelse: The inmates are all women, at least some permanently invalided. They work at tables with paints and paper making the flowers.Columns of Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war march, escorted by Russian horsemen, through city streets well behind the lines. General Alexei Brusilov poses with his staff outside his headquarters. An old lady gets in the way of the shot, hesitating, and is ushered through.The sports include a tug-of-war on horseback, followed by wrestling on horseback, and take place in an open field.The actresses, none of them identified, work using machine tools and assembling fuses (note the "BSA" lettering on the factory wall).The film is jumbled, and cuts between scenes of the two generals and their parties inspecting cadets. This is followed by a long marchpast by French troops, including a Marine battalion.
