1897. Silent. Menton, France. Baton: 4 Faces Drill.
The film shows members of the 27th Chasseurs Alpins, the mountain infantry of the French Army, performing a baton four faces drill.
4 faces Drills are equivalent to a Japanese martial Kata or a Chinese martial form.
The drill being shown relates to this manual,

which was written in 1929, some 32 years after the baton drill was filmed.
