"The Bersaglieri Regiment enter Cormons the first Austrian town captured. Leaving the Piazza di Municipale for the trenches at the double". Long shot of back view of the ranks of Italian troops in the Piazza. An officer can just be seen addressing the massed ranks of troops from the doorway of a classical building. Closer view of the proceedings. The troops are in khaki but wear a bunch of black feathers in their hats. The Regiment runs through a crowd-lined street in ranks. Some children in the crowd clap. A newsreel cameraman can just be seen to the right of the picture.
