Capture of Boer Battery 1900

 Here about 5 minutes

Public domain films. Directed by Canadian producer and filmmaker James Henry White for Edison Studios in 1900. 1) Two films were shot by James White on the same day (April 11, 1900) and in the same location used for all other war-set films: Orange Mountains, West Orange, New Jersey, USA. The two films were sold separately. In them, James White was seriously injured, burning himself with the action of the cannons used in the set design. 2) We present the reconstruction of an advance by the Scottish Gordon Highlanders in the midst of the Boer War in South Africa, on a battery formed by rural Boer fighters. Even with cannons and firearms, the Boers flee before the arrival of the soldiers of the British Empire.
