Description: | I. Portuguese language version of a German newsreel of the funeral in Constantinople, with full diplomatic and military honours, of Baron von Wangenheim, German Ambassador to Turkey, who died on 25th October 1915.
II. Portuguese language version of a German newsreel of their own forces on the Western Front, autumn 1915.
A first-aid post at work in a heavily shored-up house. Cavalry, probably a remount unit, takes part in a horse inspection. A Red Cross stretcher team, probably in a training exercise, gathers wounded on its stretchers from near a wood. At Thielt in Belgium the German garrison goes through the ceremony of 'beating retreat' as dusk falls. Sappers work to improve trench defences, probably on the Ypres ridges. In the sands of the Flanders coast a 77mm field battery, its fire directed by an observer with a trench periscope, deploys and opens fire, probably in training. A giant lamp signals from the coast out to sea.
