i keep watching these old videos for exactly that sort of thing - people caught incidentally doing something spontaneous and unexpected - they seem so much more real than those acting in studied ways - so tha you wonder about what happened to them!
Did you notice the cheeky little bell-boy in there - keeps getting in front of the camera - someone cuffs him round the ear at one point. Wonder what happened to him? About the right age for fighting in the First War...
thanks for the appreciation! i find this particular footage endlessly fascinating - i think partly it's the ordinariness of the scenes and people filmed - gives a real sense of being there!
Amazing, and beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Your channel is a real treasure-pit!

Good film but why you dont use a old french classical music ? Debussy, Satie, or other ?
