Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Cruiser Takes Troops to Gibraltar. DESCRIPTION: Some of the troops going to reinforce Gibraltar travelled on a cruiser. SHOTLIST: Shots of the troops aboard the cruiser. They are issued with lifebelts and watch a fencing display. They pass the aircraft-carrier "Furious" and as they approach the rock, there are two excellent shots of Gibraltar which will probably come in very useful at a later date.
