On patrol in Bengal.

India.

Various shots of soldiers in Bengal looking at a map after news comes through that medical help is needed in remote village. The patrol sets out with supplies and carrier pigeons. They disembark from their boat near the village and run up to the sick man's hut, villagers gather around. The N.C.O. (non-commissioned officer) lists the medicines needed and the note is attached to the carrier pigeon. It flies back to base and the supplies are packed and loaded onto a boat ready for delivery.
