After Being Wounded - New Zealanders hold sports meeting. Location of events unknown. Very funny silly stuff; so it is unfortunate that the quality is so poor. Opens with rope climbing contest; in which contestants shinny up a rope; scoot along a horizontal pole and come down a rope at the other end - several guys do this at once; while a crowd of other soldiers watch. Next; a wheelbarrow race (in which one guy holds the other's legs) coming toward camera. After that; blindfold boxing. Competitors wear regular clothes; sweaters and trousers; they fight while crowd forms circle around them. Finally; one of those silly contests in which 2 guys straddle a pole; trying to knock each other off with sacks of flour (?). Slapstick comedy. Various competitors on this 'sport'. World War One; recreation; wacky contests. G 365 A. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV. IT'S FULL OF GREAT DOCUMENTARIES, FASCINATING INTERVIEWS, AND CLASSIC MOVIES.
