| Description: | EXPERT BOMB THROWERS COMPETE AT LIFE GUARDS SPORTS WINDSOR Life Guards' sports day with bomb throwing contest, horse jumping and tug of war Windsor, Berkshire. Soldiers run across field; stop; all in a row; pick up "bombs" and throw them. Same from behind. Shot of sandbags arranged as the "enemy trench"; with the grenades landing around and inside; as judges watch. Horse coming over a jump; neatly clearing the bar; crowd in BG. Another horse and rider approach; the horse balks at the last moment and skids into the jump; knocking off poles; rider turns back. They try again; this time the horse tries the jump but starts too soon & knocks off poles with rear legs. 3rd time's the charm & horse finally clears the jump. Then a horse comes charging across the field; the rider carrying a spear. Another follows in like manner. Tug-of-war; seen from back of one team of men dressed in white; they seem to be winning but not without a struggle. | |
