ShortSummary
Bound volume (104pp, of which 27pp hold cuttings and with 4 loose items) containing ms/ts letters and press cuttings compiled and in places hand-annotated by Siegfried Sassoon, mainly concerning public reaction to his declaration in July 1917 against the continuance of the war, but also his support of the political candidacy of Philip Snowden for the Blackburn seat during the General Election of December 1918. The correspondence covers the period June 1917 - January 1919 and includes letters to Sassoon from Colonel H Jones-Williams, OC 3rd Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers to whom Sassoon would later send his protest letter; Captain E R Kearsley of the 3rd Battalion RWF who congratulates him on "a magnificent bombing raid with the 2nd Battalion"; H B Lees-Smith MP who raised Sassoon's case in Parliament; the novelist H G Wells; the pacifist Max Plowman (later author of A SUBALTERN ON THE SOMME under the nom de plume "Mark VII"); and the Labour MP (later Chancellor of the Exchequer) Philip Snowden. The album also contains the War Office letter of 18 February 1919 informing Sassoon of the Medical Board's decision to classify him as medically unfit for further service, placing him on the retired list with the rank of Captain, together with a photocopy of his declaration dated July 1917.

ContextDescription
Cataloguing approach: to do justice to this extremely long film, a more detailed description of each reel is provided in the Museum's internal catalogue. This composite entry is intended to provide an overview of the whole work and not a detailed description
Summary: the film makes extensive use, for places of which there is no documentary footage, of a number of life-size models built at the Gandhi Darshan - a permanent Gandhi exhibition outside Delhi. Most of the artefacts shown (books, spinning wheels etc) are also from this exhibition: for further details, see notes to reel descriptions
Remarks: the film is a biography of Gandhi, not a history of India, and many important topics in twentieth century Indian history are barely mentioned. As a biography, its deliberately uncritical, even hagiographical approach (all Gandhi's less creditable deeds are omitted) is emphasised by an unbearably fulsome commentary. Despite its length, therefore, the film is often curiously uninformative. While telling the viewer what sort of a man Gandhi was, it does not adequately explain what he finally achieved

[the CONDEMNED VILLAGE] [translation]
ShortSummary
Inhabitants of a village in West Germany unite to defeat a plan of the warmongering Americans to build an airfield on their land.
FullSummary
Reel 1. Postman delivers letter to Mutter Weimann announcing forthcoming return of her son Heinz, a prisoner of war in the Soviet Union. Heinz in uniform steps off train and is dazed by first impressions of the city: destitution alongside well-stocked shops, a young German girl with an American officer, boys mesmerised by warlike toys in a window, a newsstand selling magazines with pictures of an American airman and an article by the wife of war criminal Hess. Turning away, Heinz bumps into an old friend now working for the Roeder construction company. Back home in Bärenweiler he is welcomed as a long lost son; surrounded by his friends he assures the villagers that propaganda that the Russians want war is false and that in reality they want to live in peace, especially as their towns and villages suffered even worse destruction than did Germany's. Meanwhile Fritz Vollmer and two bourgeois friends sit together rejoicing at the rumour that a new German Army is to be formed; this raises their hopes of regaining their lands in the East. News headline announces Eisenhower's despatch of more troops to Europe. Back in the Weimann household Heinz's mother reveals that his old love Käthe has married the revanchist Fritz in order to please her socially ambitious father. Next day when Heinz and Käthe meet it is clear that their old love remains strong and that her marriage is unhappy. Heinz and Fritz quarrel in the inn when Fritz mocks Heinz as a communist; Heinz retorts that he loves peace, having had enough of war, and that his only desire is to work his fields. Bärenweiler's fields however are coveted by the US for a new airfield, following the strengthening of NATO's forces. American Colonel, after visiting the area and arousing instant suspicion and hostility of the villagers, makes arrangements with Roeder for the company to build the airfield. During village festivities Käthe's father boasts of his son-in-law's war record while his daughter dances with Heinz. Merriment is interrupted by letter notifying Mayor that Control Commission intends to take over large area for defence by October 15. Outraged Mayor agrees with equally shocked and sympathetic old Pastor to contest the decision, but a meeting with the Regionsrat shows that the German authorities favour the airfield plan too: it will serve not only the Americans but the West Germans also.
Reel 2. Fritz is alone in the village in welcoming the plan. Käthe is distraught, her father outraged and Heinz incredulous. Pastor drafts a letter of protest for the Mayor to send to the Americans, pleading against the destruction of the ancient village community, and promises to intervene with the Bishop. Bishop in palatial setting eventually sees Pastor, only to argue first that the matter is outside the realm of the church, then to state that the values of the West have sometimes to be defended with fire and sword. Disappointed Pastor replies that those who live by the sword shall perish by the sword. Back in Bärenweiler a petition to the American Control Commission is signed by all the villagers except Fritz, who realises airfield is not for peace and that it will help him recover his lands in the East which now belong to the peasants. Petition is rejected by the Americans and Roeder starts to assemble equipment for the proposed airfield. Letter in English announcing American rejection is translated by the schoolteacher and strengthens villagers' determination not to move. Heinz seeks support of his worker friend at Roeder's in protest campaign, while Fritz tries to forbid his wife from participating in a protest march. March converges on city carrying placards that Germans will not surrender their land to the Americans. While police chief prepares to contain the demonstration, the State Minister receives a delegation consisting of the Mayor, Pastor and Heinz, whom he accuses of irresponsibility. Outside an American jeep pulls up to shouts of "Yanks go home! Germany is German!". American Colonel orders the police to disperse the crowd, which they do with the aid of batons and water cannon, emptying the square of all but several prostrate bodies, to the Colonel's satisfaction. Käthe returns from the demonstration to find a scrawled note from Fritz announcing his departure and the end of the marriage. Anger at biased newspaper report of demonstration is balanced by satisfaction at flood of messages of support from workers' organisations throughout Germany, including one from the GDR. Meanwhile State Minister holds cabinet meeting; all but one agree that there is no alternative to compliance with the American General, who reminds the German politicians that the choice is really between one form of rule and another. Americans refuse to postpone ultimatum to villagers and on appointed day of October 15 German police move in to clear Bärenweiler. Mayor protests at outrage of Germans attacking Germans, but the police have their orders. Elderly Frau Rühling refuses to budge from her home as police break into houses all around.
Reel 3. Heinz is arrested while trying to protect Käthe's house from the police. Meanwhile the Bishop gives orders for Bärenweiler's obstreperous Pastor to be transferred to another parish. Building workers black airfield project; when Roeder tells Colonel that work cannot begin until Bärenweiler is cleared, the American promises to take care of the matter. In prison awaiting trial, Heinz learns from Käthe that villagers now hope that airfield will be built elsewhere; Heinz points out that other villagers will then suffer. In court defending himself against the charge of resistance to the state, Heinz argues that he has already lost ten years of his life because people did not resist the unjust demands of the state (during the Nazi period); crowds outside support his stand for peace, which earns him a year's sentence. Simultaneously workers celebrate Roeder's decision to withdraw from airfield project and the Pastor delivers a sermon rejoicing that Bärenweiler's lands will never become battlefields. Americans decide to take village by surprise and send in troops and trucks to remove inhabitants and their belongings in four-hour operation. Scheming inhabitants of surrounding villages answer church bell alarm, workers from Roeder's are alerted; town and country united converge on Bärenweiler and force Americans to call off their operation, although not before Frau Rühling has committed suicide rather than be evicted from her house. Music soars triumphantly as defeated American troops depart.

IV. Mob storms a church to break up a pacifist meeting.
FullSummary
I. 'WAR'S DEVASTATION. German prisoners employed in reconstruction work at Ribécourt 35 Kilometres behind the firing line.' LS pan as men move about with wheelbarrows shifting earth - ruined village buildings in the background. Tented POW encampment in the grounds of a château - tanned POWs walk towards and past camera. The men wear uniform jackets or fatigues some stamped with an identifying mark (PG for Prisonniers de Guerre) and number. The men fall in. POWs at work repairing the road surface and clearing debris in Ribécourt - in the background is the quaintly named 'Hotel de Cornet d'Or'. French guards stand about, rifles slung. POWs clean stones of mortar for re-use, construct a wooden-frame building, saw timber by hand and using a power jig-saw. 'PRISONERS' TOILET. The labours of the day ended, the prisoners take a dip.' Men sit on a wooden jetty washing in the river - a barge is alongside.
II. 'FRENCH TANKS. French Land Cruisers on their way to the front.' HA.MS as two Saint Chamond tanks move through a ruined village. The leading vehicle, named 'Teddy', negotiates a corner. (These are early models with flat roof and 75mm Saint Chamond TR gun.)
III. 'THE CHAMPAGNE REGION. The Ruins of Caronne (sic). The bombardment of the Californie Plateau.' Various shots as men move among shattered trees and the remains of buildings. LS pan over land gently sloping away from the camera-position - trees broken by artillery fire in the foreground. LS up denuded slope as shells explode on high ground - a graphically devastated landscape.
IV. 'PACIFISTS ROUTED AT BROTHERHOOD CHURCH. A pacifist meeting held at Kingsland was broken up by the forces of loyalty and patriotism. The crowd breaking into the Church.' MS of church building surrounded by a hostile crowd - one patriot is battering at the closed doors while others throw stones and kick at the windows. Having smashed one of the windows a man climbs inside but is forced to withdraw. Mounted police sit idly by watching events. Men try once again to enter by the broken window, but are kept out by one of the congregation wielding a length of wood - those outside try to seize the defender's weapon and throw stones at those within. A second window comes under attack. The pacifists are still resisting vigorously, although losing ground, and the forces of law and order are still apparently asleep when the sequence ends.
ContextDescription
Summary (item II): French tanks made their first appearance in the spring of 1917, playing a determining part in April in the capture of Juvincourt, east of Craonne.

ShortSummary
Film about Vietnam, showing the determined struggle against American aggression, by the Dutch film maker Joris Ivens, introduced by Bertrand Russell.
FullSummary
The film includes footage from both North and South Vietnam, of meetings by Ivens with President Ho Chi Minh and Nguyen Huu Thu chairman of the National Liberation Front, and a little American material. Bertrand Russell introduces the film and says the American aggression contravenes the Genevan agreement of 1954 when the French departed. He tells of the appalling bombing campaign of the Americans. The film puts the resistance to America in the context of resistances to occupation, like that of occupied Europe against the Nazis, and the heroic endurance of enemy bombing in the tradition of Londoners' endurance of the Blitz. There are sequences of the industrial and agricultural life of Vietnam, when air-raid warnings are sounded and men and women either carry on working regardless or leap into defence with rifles and machine guns. There are shots of the citizens of Hanoi preparing defences against air attack. There are shots of the NLF jungle command HQ, of the primitive traps they were setting over the country and of their captured American arms. There are shots of anti-American riots in Saigon and tales of the computerised planning of the escalation of the war and of blanket bombing by the Pentagon.
