The camera was placed directly behind two small artillery pieces, manned by approximately ten men in the uniform of the Boers. After two rounds have been fired from the artillery pieces, the Boers break and run toward the camera position. In the background are some British soldiers in kilts. The film ends as the kilted men pass the camera position.Language:SilentNotes: -
