Camp is pitched and the squadron is seen next laying three land mines. Every operation from the planting of explosives to electrical connection and the final terrific upheaval of the tons of earth and rocks is shown. Next stumps and trees are blown up and cut down by the use of this explosive, showing the torn and shattered remains. A feature of this picture is the construction, planting and explosion of a submarine mine. There are numerous other interesting and instructive points, such as the testing of the explosives by smashing with a bullet at close range and burning a stick held in a man's hand.
