| Description: | World War One - some sort of British army thing; with a French connection; but unclear just what the event is. DS masses of people; gathered; a platform with stripes round sides - (like French flag?); people on it. CU group of British officers; 1 civilian ( talking on phone?) CU man with a spool with wire on it; wearing this on his back - strange...man/machine; alienaton; inhumanity etc. he is pulling some of it down. More shots of people standing or walking around. Pan looking over crowd - some Brit; & French flags raised above crowd; moving along. CU bunch of people - some military; some civilian; w/ cameras held up; etc. -- journalists? Pan over crowd again; people waving hats etc.; in cheer. Review. Troops inspected by some military; some civilian. Generally this is a fairly disjointed story - not really that interesting either. | |
