British Pathé says
Notes from a viewer: The description describes the film as showing the wreck of a Zeppelin. However, it is actually a combination of more than one wreck. The intact Zeppelin L.49, the name of which is visible in the film, crash landed 20th Oct 1917 near Bourbonne-Les-Bains and was captured by the French.
