Scene from a Film: Actors Playing British Troops Storming a Fortress Whilst the Dead and Dying Lie Around Them, 1920s. 'The fort at Umballa [Ambala], over which the flag still flew in, oh well, the film's name doesn't matter, but one brave charge soon put that situation to rights, marching into the relieved fortress, only to find, amid the shambles, just one defender left alive, and that one, only just'. From "Time To Remember - Came The Dawn", 1925 (Reel 3); peek at the British Film Industry of the 1920s - clips from great silent films and newsreels.
