Almost Like The Real Thing (1927)

Item title reads: “Almost like the real thing. Uncle Sam’s battle chariots and crews are tested out, under “war conditions“.“ USA M/S small tanks make their way across a rugged field between bushes and trees. There are dramatic explosions from time to time, masking the tanks in clouds of smoke. One tank looks as if its upended, but it tips itself back on track and heads away through the smoke. Note: The tanks cross what could be a minefield on these manoeuvres. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
