Description: | German prisoners being escorted through rear areas by French soldiers, 1914 or 1915.
The film describes the prisoners as the "result of the great French victory in Champagne". They are led into a large cultivated area, standing in 'blocks' of a few hundred men. Dragoons, apparently in the uniform of 1914, escort the prisoners back. Germans rest in a temporary 'cage' of a few strands of barbed wire - most acknowledge the camera. More prisoners are marched into the cages, being given loaves of bread by their escorts - a French officer interferes to make sure this is in camera-shot. The prisoners eat and rest.
