Description
Excerpt from How I Filmed the War: A Record of the Extraordinary Experiences of the Man Who Filmed the Great Somme Battles, Etc
From my early days I was always interested in photography, and boyish experiments eventually led me along the path to my life''s vocation. In time I took up the study of kinematography, and-joined the staff of the Clarendon Film Company (of London and Croydon), one of the pioneer firms in the industry. There I learned much and made such progress that in time I was entrusted with the film ing of great productions, which cost thousands of pounds to make. From there I went to the Gaumont Company, and I was in the service of this great anglo-french film organisation when war broke out.
During the early days of the autumn of 1914 I was busily occupied in filming various scenes in connection with the war in different parts of the country. One day when I was at the London office of the Company I was sent for by the Chief.
