French soldiers engaged in trench warfare, during World War I

French troops engage Germans (not seen) from trenches only 40 feet apart, during World War 1. explosions create a line of white smoke in background, as French troops are photographed in a deep trench by camera from above. Glimpse of a French Schneider 240 mm howitzer firing. Shells striking and heavy white smoke rising. French troops in a deep trench, lined with woven wood sticks. They use a grenade launcher to propel ball grenades. Grenades striking and raising clouds of white smoke. A French soldier by several canisters placed in a trench. He ignites one that begins to emit white smoke. He quickly leaves the trench as all the canisters ignite and generate large clouds of white gas that drifts toward the German trenches. Views from evacuated position of the gas rising and drifting. Several French artillerymen firing a heavy gun. They run to the rear of the gun as it fires and some cover their ears. More views of the gas drifting toward German trenches. A German shell explodes on or near the French trench where the gas is being generated. A battery of French 120mm long guns mounted on railway flat cars. They fire tear gas shells. View of the same trenches shown earlier, with gas continuing to cloud the area, and a shell exploding in the midst of it. French soldiers in a fortified position,load,tighten,and release a grenade launcher, propelling a grenade toward German positions. An Aasen mortar (Mortier Aasen) 3.5-inch (88.9-mm) gun-mortar firing gas shells from a trench. White smoke rising from shell strikes. Small German shell or grenade, exploding just outside a French trench. French soldiers hunched down and moving quickly through a trench, and then going "over the top," in a charge.

French submarine and features of torpedoes, in World War I

French armament men display a torpedo suspended by a sling from a hoist on a dock in World War 1. They rotate it around for the camera. A submarine is seen tied up to an adjacent dock in the background. The next scene shows the bubble wake of a compressed air driven torpedo seen from a boat tracking it as it moves through the water. Next sequence is taken from aboard a French submarine underway on the surface. A structure and point of land is seen. Then, officers and sailors are seen on the boat's deck. Scene then reverts to the torpedo on the dock, where closeup of its counter-rotating propellers are shown while being tested with a compressed air motor. Men show how the horizontal and vertical fins can be adjusted to control the path of the torpedo. An exploding cutter is shown, designed to penetrate defensive nets. A man screws the cutter into the nose of the torpedo. (WWI; WW1)

Allied artillery barrage decimates German lines during Battle of the Somme in World War I

Remarkable, rare, on-scene views on the receiving end of a British and French Allied artillery barrage, shot by German photographer at the German frontlines, during the battle of the Somme, in World War 1. Allied artillery shells fired at German positions begin striking along the German lines and cause some German soldiers to abandon their trenches. Fairly close range view of shells striking in middle of the German trenches. As the barrage by British and French artillery increases in intensity, more German soldiers are seen running towards the rear to seek better protection and escape the bombardment. Two huge explosions cause more German soldiers to flee the area. (The Allied gunners are clearly zeroed in on the German positions.) The shelling continues with heavier guns causing even larger explosions. More German troops flee the area. Remote and close views of the relentless artillery barrage as it devastates the German lines. (WWI; WW1)
