Description:

Unedited film of the 11th Battalion, Tank Corps, and of horse-breaking by men of the Canadian Corps, in rear areas of the battlefield during the Breaking of the Hindenburg Line, Western Front, September 1918.~Not far from the Droucort-Quéant Switch Line, tanks of the 11th Battalion make their way up a gradient in the fog. The leading Mk V male tank is marked "Kim" and has a left-handed swastika on its nose (after Kipling). It is followed by another Male tank, and a Female "Kitty". Horses of the Canadian Corps unsaddled in a shallow depression. Canadian ASC men are breaking in one horse to a harness for pulling a cart. A patrol of Canadian Light Horse moves forward. Back at the horse-lines, the horses are being groomed, and the horse being broken in has been hobbled with a form of running martingale. Finally, a village, mostly reduced to rubble. Shown clearly on a wall is "O U QEEANT" (sic), presumably the village of Quéant. <8mn>
