- 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.

We always welcome comments and more information about our films.
All posts are reactively checked. Libellous and abusive comments are forbidden.
While the cameraman is in Lucerne we see shots of Lake Lucerne (der Vierwaldstättersee), and the ancient Kapellbrucke (Chapel Bridge).
"Vegis" should read Weggis.
"Acksenstrasse" should read Axenstrasse.
"Fluellan" should read Fluelen.
"Outdorf" should read Altdorf.
"Susstern Pass" should read Susten Pass.
"Vendenbassen" certainly isn't right, but I don't know what it should be. As it's a viaduct, passing over water, it'll be something Wasser, perhaps Venden Wasser, or Wenden Wasser.
While in Interlaken, at 11:23, the camera shows the three main mountains of the region, namely the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.
"Blausse" should read Blausee, (meaning "Blue Lake").
"Col du Pion" should read Col du Pillon.
"Yvonand" should read Yvorne.
At 13.57, just outside Montreux, the camera shows the Chateau de Chillon.
N.B. All the place names need altering in the tags as well as in the shots list.
A very detailed and helpful comment - much appreciated by us archivists. You've certainly saved us an enormous amount of time.
