Warspite Boys (1938)

Grays, Essex. Various shots at a sports ground of the sports day of boys belonging to the training ship ’Warspite’. The cadets are seen in a relay race, jumping hurdles, pushing a water filled container with a pole while being pushed along in a wheelbarrow, climbing ropes, crawling under nets and having pillow fights while sitting on poles. Several shots of women (mothers of the boys, probably) watching the races and laughing. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
