Men follow each other in to the wooden building - a refectory or canteen. Interior shot of all the men sitting at tables being served their breakfast by nurses and men in white coats.
"Then to work out in the open air. He is first taught the rudiments of market gardening." L/S of three men in a vegetable plot. One man uses a hoe, the other two watch his technique.
"Jim tells the Medical Superintendent he feels well and likes the work." M/S of the three men standing in the vegetable plot chatting. "He learns to cultivate parsnips..." L/S of two men at work with hoes. Panning shot of the vegetable field. "...and works in one of the outdoor tomato beds." L/Ss of the men working in the fields. "He works for a short time in a greenhouse erected by the rural carpenters." Nice shot of several men tending plants in a greenhouse. "He learns to bunch radishes for the market." C/U of two men holding bunches of radishes.
"And while Jim is at the Colony his future is not forgotten. The Dispensary Care Committee discuss his prospects, and a member undertakes to visit him at the Colony and report progress to his mother." M/S of a group of people sitting at a table in the sunshine. A woman reads from a report, a nurse and the others listen. "The Care Committee visitor comes to see him in the garden..."
L/S of Jim working in the gardens. A man and woman walk up to speak to him. He doffs his cap. L/S of the three standing under a wooden bower talking. Jim again doffs his cap and they walk off. This sequence could be used to illustrate a rich couple talking to their gardener. There is a short sequence here of men in uniform loading cannons - seems rather incongruous. Continued.

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 images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
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.
