Summary

Pathe synopsis: Science fiction has got nothing on the British Army as a visit to the Military Engineering Establishment at Christchurch, Hampshire, clearly shows. We see a weird and wonderful collection of new vehicles - from the instant trencher to the lorry that lays its own roadway as it goes along. But if tomorrow’s campaigns are to be fought with motor vehicles...
