Serbia.
French and Serbian armies win battles as they advance; freeing villages in Serbia; this is probably from around late September; 1918. Opens with shot of French officer walking by truck; pan right to show camouflaged artillery, weapons pulled behind the truck. Next a rather dramatic shot: men walking; leading horses down a steep and rocky treacherous mountain path; on left; a very long drop down to valley in distance; on left jagged craggy rocks jutting up. Looks scary. Not for anyone with fear of heights.
Next; the men and horses coming down a slope of rocks; shot from below Pile of sandbags; with one guy squatting behind; others standing; looking off; one looking through something on tripod . Next; battle scene. Soldiers firing a gun: one gives arm signal; others fire. Boom! Shot from side of field gun firing; from bushes; hills in bg. Shells exploding on rocky hills
Soldiers feeding refugees; displaced persons. Elderly men sitting on the ground cross-legged; eating; a Serbian Army cook carrying an empty pot says a few words to some of them as he passes; soldiers stand in BG. Pan left; more civilian men dipping something from a pot on the ground.
World War One; military. Troop movements; action; meals.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
