I think this is the same film i posted here while back. So it is authentic after all?

The clip from 19 seconds to 1 minute, is definitely the same as the Critical Past clip.

At 54 seconds in egbert's film you can see the cameraman? This doesn't appear in the critical past clip, I don't think.

It's big mish-mash. The opening "attack" is obviously a training exercise, since it's filmed from a tower or some such vantage point, and some of the destroyed British tanks are from Cambrai in 1917. The men pulling the accompanying artillery piece are wearing spotless, brand-new uniforms. But the footage of marching troops and prisoners are obviously authentic.

I agree they are from an exercise....not actual combat scenes.
