Robuk88 Posted 4 December , 2019 Share Posted 4 December , 2019 Hello Troops, I've just finished the films malins produced Battle of the Somme and the Battle of the Ancre. Does anyone know if he did more? or maybe if there's a film from the german side at all?Filming our trenches etc. Thanks in advance :-) Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamRev Posted 4 December , 2019 Share Posted 4 December , 2019 (edited) Malins' first film was, as far as I know, his film of the Battle for the St Eloi Craters in March 1916, showing the 3rd Division. (It was misty and Malins was able to film British shells exploding on German lines.) There is a thread on it HERE. The film used to be viewable online, but I am having no luck viewing at the moment. (Perhaps the IWM have stopped their films online, or perhaps just a problem with this one. Have a google - it may be available elsewhere).

William Here is a streamable copy of The Fight at St Eloi: https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/record/4204 This was not the first film shot by Malins, some of the earliest footage shot by Malins (in an official capacity) and Tong was from November/December 1915. With The Indian Troops at the Front is believed to be one of the first films they shot, it was certainly the earliest released in cinemas, in Jan 1916. However, accoriing to Malins in "How I filmed the War" there was material he shot in 1914/15 as a freelancer as well...
