Army Life; or, How Soldiers Are Made: Mounted Infantry

Army Life or, How Soldiers Are Made Mounted Infantry is an 1900 British short blackandwhite silent propaganda actuality film, directed by Robert W. Paul, featuring the Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment riding over a plain. The film, which premiered on 18September190019000918 at the Alhambra Theatre in London, England, is all that appears to remain of one of R.W. Pauls most ambitious projects, which, according to Micahael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, had it survived in a more complete form, would undoubtedly be considered one of the most important precursors of the modern documentary.
