Rout of the Filipinos (1899) - Spanish American War Scenes
Battle reenactment: slight slow motion views of white shirted soldiers backing up, firing rifles. US infantry moves in, firing and waving their hats. As Teddy Roosevelt himself might have observed, "Soldiers who wave their hats in the heat of battle are frequently known as casualties."
