Some of our users from Britain may be familiar with this, the Irish maybe not as much, and the older ones moreso than the younger ones.

Pathé News was a producer of newsreels and documentaries from 1910 until 1970 in the UK. Its founder, Charles Pathé, was a pioneer of moving pictures in the silent era. The Pathé News archive is known today as British Pathé. Its collection of news film and movies is fully digitised and available online.

I had a look at some of their stuff on YouTube and it's incredible footage.

The first clip shows the British soldiers departing Ireland at the end of the war of Independence.


A second clip is from WW2 and seems to be some effort at warding off the Germans


It's great footage to have.
