Wooden Huts (1914-1918)

Aldershot, Hampshire? Construction on military base. Several identical small wooden buildings are under construction. Horse pulling wagon carrying building supplies, pan to a long building with just the frame built, worker leaning over in foreground using pickaxe. Foundations of more new buildings at right. Army huts now built and painted a dark colour, soldiers and army officers mill about outside huts. American cataloguer’s note: maybe these are extra barracks built at Aldershot during World War One to accommodate huge volunteer army. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
