Men of the 204th Infantry Battalion (The Beavers), Canadian Expeditionary Force lined up, "going into action" with rifles drawn, racing across open terrain, hitting the ground, two soldiers beating a drum to signal heavy artillery. Closeup of soldiers using primitive field telephone to communicate with headquarters. Colonel C.B. Price and Sergeant Major Eagleson direct operations. They watch from horseback as soldiers re-enact battle in High Park, Toronto. Soldiers on the ground in firing position with several "civilians" on the sidewalk in the background. While waiting for their turn to go into action, two wrestlers perform to the amusement of the remainder of the company. Final charge and capture of the position. This Battalion is perpetuated by the Royal Regiment of Canada. <3mn>
