WhiteDescription:The camera was located on a small hill overlooking an area that had been selected for a sham battle between men dressed as Boer volunteers and as British lancers. As the film progresses, the company of men closest to the camera begins firing rifles, and a small cannon is seen to emit smoke. At a distance, coming out of a gully, are approximately two companies of men dressed in British Army uniforms who charge their opponents. The film ends by showing many of the defeated soldiers lying on the battlefield while the victors enthusiastically wave their flag and march away.Language:SilentNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
