  • This is certainly not the Egiptian front. It is the syrian front. It is clear from the landscape: specially the stones that can't be found on the eastern bank of Suez canal and are familliar with the Golan Heights landscape and buildings (as shown at the end of the film).
    also, on 4:45 minute of the film an Israeli cannon shown and it is written on it in Hebrew by the crew: ???? ????? which means: "Express to Damascus".
    The photographer was with the Israeli troops, so all the moving armours are Israel's and the destroyed tanks are also IDF tanks.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.

The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.
