A Crowd of Soldiers Boarding a Boat, 1920s. 'Those recurring far-eastern crises, Chinese, red and nationalist armies, marching and counter-marching, carrying war from one end of the land to the other. The international settlement at Shanghai, a haven for so many during the strife. Britain, France, the United States and other interested parties, rushing troops to the area, just in case. A port full of warships of many nations, with guns ready to fire on anyone who might infringe the rights of anybody not Chinese'. From "Time To Remember - Came The Dawn", 1925 (Reel 3); peek at the British Film Industry of the 1920s - clips from great silent films and newsreels.
