Aldershot Gale Damage (1938)

Aldershot, Hampshire. Brief shot of the rehearsal for the Aldershot Military Tattoo (from story in 38/43); the backdrop is a model of King Henry VIII’s Palace of Ardres. We then see several shots of the scenery in ruins after a 70 mile an hour gale hit the area. Commentator assures us that “new scenery will take it’s place, and the show will go on - the British Army is like that!“ FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
