Soldier Shooting
A wounded soldier takes aim
Non-Fiction 1900 1 mins Silent
Overview
This short section looks like one of several films dramatizing incidents from the Boer War for audiences back home. It might be from one of Mitchell and Kenyon's Boer War fiction films. A soldier sets up a position to shoot his rifle at the enemy. He has a bandaged head so has presumably been in a battle or skirmish.
