The British Army - 1930s

[Mike Jackson]

A recently re-released official documentary film featuring the British Army in the 1930s - closing scenes show the BEF embarking and sailing for France. Some good shots of Staffords wearing battledress covered with brass badges. Propaganda, but worth watching.

Excellent! Interesting to see at 14 minutes reference to the use of Television by the Royal Artillery!

But very irritating for the FOO to have his Battery Commander peering over his shoulder. I would have been tempted to keep the lens cap on the camera! Mike
