Shot looking towards river; pan right to cemetery with simple wooden crosses sticking up from wildflowers. Ruins of village; with Belgian officers driving in car through what must have been square. Soldiers by ruins of house along river. French and Belgian officers walking through ruins of town; one is carrying a tiny puppy. 3 of them stand on narrow footbridge across the river; ruins on opposite bank. More shots of ruins.

One man gives messages to another. 2 men carry a big
