Soldiers in the trenches open parcels and a child dies in an air raid. This is may be the only surviving reel of a feature film directed by Irish-born actor-director Herbert Brenon.

Brenon gained a reputation in Britain for his confidence with spectacular material, including a 1913 adaptation of Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, before leaving Europe for greater success in Hollywood during the later silent era. But his career tailed off after the arrival of the talkies.
