The first of three film versions of Britain's glorious cock-up is quite impressive given the era in which it was made. Only a passing effort is made to get to know the characters involved - the film only runs 12 minutes, so there isn't the time - but a large cast takes to the battlefield, and the charge is filmed well by director J. Searle Dawley. Pretty sure this would have gone down a storm in 1912.
