| Description: | World War One; honors. Canadian VC s (soldiers who earned the Victoria Cross medal) are cheered by their comrades. A group of 40 - 50 Canadian soldiers stand on a hill. 2 medal winners are shaking hands with each other. Happy & excited. Then they shake with another guy; who wears long waterproof coat -- a superior officer? All the men in the group start to cheer and wave their hats. Then they lift the 2 heroes and walk forward carrying the men on their shoulders; as if they're about to burst into a round of "For They are Jolly Good Fellows" CU the 2 guys; with man in the raincoat in the middle -- though the shot is too close to get all of them in it; and one guy is 1/2 cut off . | |
