The film begins with a P.O.V. shot through binoculars of a battlefield. Shot of an artillery cannon being readied. "The nature of the German defences was evidence of their long preparation for their audacious attack upon unsuspecting Europe. Infantry walking through tie-rods planted in the ground. "In the face of this, Britain proved both her inherent resourcefulness and courage." Shot of a heavily fortified front made of posts and barbed-wire. "The concrete shelters buried in the trench sides were also evidence of Germany's studied intentions." Shot of a concrete bunker entrance.Troops clearing the entrance. "Contributing to the general efficiency and the ultimate success, the labour battalions marked a memorable place in the work of the British Army." Troops laying down train rails.
