Long shot (snowy images) of French commanders with their backs to the camera, saluting towards a tree and soldier lined road. To their left, British commanders alight from a car. Medium long shot of both sets of commanders, inspecting roadside troops, as they briskly march along a road. Medium long shot as they approach a gated entrance, but pass by. Medium shot as the same commanders walk toward the end of a line of bayonetted soldiers, slowing as they run out of inspectees. The commanders, back at the gated entrance, mill around and proceed through the gate. Medium close shot of two guards, standing at either side of the frame, swords aloft. In the background, commanders can be seen entering a doorway.
