Returning Home
In this brief clip a group of New Zealand soldiers smile and wave to the camera. They have been invalided out of the war and are on their way home. The camera pans to show “trophies” of war – two soldiers wear gas masks, while a third displays an iron cross – all souvenired from the battlefields, from German soldiers.
