Explosions (1914-1918)

War damage: various shots of bombs exploding. Western Front. Oddly enough this starts out with a fairly scenic shot, trees in foreground looking across wide expanse of flat fields or water towards mountains in distance; with a small house sitting at the edge of the foothills - but there is also smoke coming from exploded shells spreading in front of these hills. MS looking across field at bombed chateau which has already suffered extensive damage; being hit again by a bomb. MS of explosions hitting in empty field. Finally; very good shot of wall collapsing - 3 storey high wall; all that remains of a building; falls towards camera.
