| Description: | World War One; Military sports. Soldiers acting silly. Shot of Army man and woman walking past line of soldiers holding up rifles. The first "sports" event shown is the only one different from other military sports stories: men (white shorts & T-shirts) seen from rear; running to tall ladders leaning up against a horizontal pole. They climb the ladders; and drop down on other side; then continue running. Next; a common event - 2 guys straddling pole hitting each other w/ bags or pillows; until one loses balance & falls. And the very popular wheelbarrow - pole - bucket of water game (see other listings for details). comedy. | |
