A sailor and a soldier step up to receive some sort of honours. American cataloguer notes: “Shanghai was an open port and an international city; not a British colony. (Actually there seems to be nothing about this film to distinguish the location; it might just as easily be India or another colony or dependency.)“. Imperialism. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
