Summary
Pathe synopsis: Strange things happen in the Army. New things. Things like the Drone - a radio-controlled ‘plane used by the Royal Artillery to photograph enemy positions. It’s ingenious. It’s spectacular. But best of all, it’s bound to make Grandad throw away his stories of battles gone by.
