Some of the images ;
... "French soldiers cross field. Map showing French Army's advance. Shots of another mess; with mangled equipment; rubble; etc. on hillside. French soldiers carry material through well-fortified trench; past entrances to dugouts with sandbags stacked around wooden frames. Soldier filling jugs of water from puddle in shell crater; he and another carry them away. Shots of bombs exploding. Gun barrel sticks out of its hiding place; fires several times. A few men walking. CU man looking through binoculars. More explosions and guns. Shot from hill; looking downward. French soldiers walking down hill inside trench; while a group of German prisoners walk up the hill towards camera. Next; a few French soldiers join several comrades sitting up on a rocky ridge; just below the top (where they could not be seen from other side). "
