- Mock Dawn Attack (00/03/1940): dawn shots of heavily dressed soldiers in snow trench firing at the "enemy", as seen from behind the trench. Dawn shots of "enemy" charging across the field pell-mell, attacking trench, making soldiers in it prisoners (00/03/1940). LAS from inside the trench as soldiers vault over it and the camera. Front view of men clambering out of the trench, charging past the camera. Men tentatively identified as the Fusiliers Mont Royal and area as somewhere in the vicinity of Montreal (00/03/1940). Français : Exercice d'attaque à l'aube (00/03/1940): plans pris à l'aube de soldats emmitouflés dans une tranchée enneigée qui tirent sur "l'ennemi", filmés de derrière la tranchée. Plans à l'aube de fantassins "ennemis" qui chargent en désordre à travers le champ de manoeuvre, attaquant la tranchée et faisant prisonniers les soldats qui s'y trouvent (00/03/1940). P en CP pris de l'intérieur d'une tranchée tandis que des soldats penchés en sortent, devant la caméra. Vue avant des hommes qui se hissent hors de la tranchée, puis chargent devant la caméra. Il s'agit semble-t-il de fusilliers Mont-Royal qui s'entraînent quelque part aux alentours de Montréal (00/03/1940).
