I. HINDU SABHA CONFERENCE - The impressive Presidential procession, Flag hoisting and pictures of the proceedings of Lyallpur Hindu Sabha Conference.

I. HINDU SABHA CONFERENCE - Enthusiastic cheering greeted the president-elect of the Punjab Hindu Sabha Conference, as the train steamed into the Lyallpur Station where the conference was held. Seated in a magnificent chariot built in the ancient Hindu style, richly caparisoned, drawn by twelve white bullocks, Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee was taken in a huge procession, which was more than a mile long. Some 30,000 people followed the procession. Dr Moonje hoisted the Hindu Sabha Flag at Chitor Garh amidst scenes of great enthusiasm. In his presidential address Dr Mukherjee strongly opposed the vivisection of India and wish that out of the chaos and conflict of the war would emerge a new world order based on equality, justice and freedom.

II. MANIPUR FRONT - Further pictures of Jap atrocities - the bombing of Imphal in Manipur State, Assam, showing a direct hit on a hospital clearly marked with the Red Cross.

II. MANIPUR FRONT - As a token of the New Order Japan is out to create, a squadron of Japanese bombers accompanied by fighters fitted with long range petrol tanks flew over the village of Imphal in Manipur State, Assam. These bombers scored a straight hit on a hospital clearly marked with the Red Cross regarded now as a military objective in the Japanese military code. There were many wounded civilians in the hospital, wounded from a Japanese air raid the previous day. Soon the sick and the wounded were removed to safety from the hands of Japan's much vaunted chivalry.

III. CHIN LEVIES ACTIVE ON BURMA FRONT - The guerrilla fighters of the hills bordering Indo-Burma, organised to fight the Japanese in Burma. Transport supply convoys through recently opened jungle roads and dropping of supplies by parachutes to isolated groups of fighters in enemy occupied territory.

III. CHIN LEVIES ACTIVE ON BURMA FRONT - As our eyes turn to the Burma Border and to movements which are being reported from Arakan and Assam, our attention is naturally drawn to the men of the hills who are being organised to offer resistance to the Japanese whenever and wherever they come. These men, known as the Chin levies, inhabit the hills bordering Indo-Burma. Distributed in small groups all over that hilly border, they depend for their existence on such supplies as can be sent to them from the nearest bases. These supplies are taken by motor transport as far as possible. In the first half of the journey the road rises to 3,000 feet and in the second half drops 2,000 feet down to the staging point. When the roads become impassable the supplies are carried on the backs of mules. These mules carry each a balanced load of two mounds and cover 18 miles a day - but where even the mules cannot reach, especially to those isolated groups far away on those Burma hills, the supplies are sent by plane and dropped at the appropriate spots by parachutes. Naturally proficient in the art of concealment and camouflage, these Chin levies make ideal guerrilla bands which harass every forward move of the enemy. For these men manna continues to drop from heaven.

IV. TRAVANCORE TEMPLE FESTIVAL - The great Arat Temple Festival of Travancore - Scenes recalling ancient pageantry - mimic representation of Mahabharata and the three mile procession of the Gods of the Royal Family with His Highness the Maharaja.

IV. TRAVANCORE TEMPLE FESTIVAL - The Mahabharata is portrayed in the old historical manner with the hundred Kauravas who come dancing with war drums to offer battle to the Pandavas represented by these enormous figures. This is called the "Vela Kali". "Kathakali", the classical dance of the south, depicting the Puranic Stories, is performed in the temple every night. Costumes and elaborate make up belong to the period of the birth of this pantomime. The festival comes to a close on the tenth day with a procession which is attended by his Highness the Maharaja and his younger brother, the heir to the throne. His Highness wields the sword of his ancestor who consolidated Travancore two centuries ago. At every hundredth step His Highness stops - turns round and bows in reverence to the Deities. On this occasion the Gods of the royal family are carried ceremoniously for a dip into the sea. The procession, marching over three miles, is a relic of what may now be classed as ancient pageant.

V. BOMBAY WAR SERVICES EXHIBITION - The biggest exhibition ever staged of the weapons of war and the services to bring the people close to the realities of war. Impressive shots of tank manoeuvres and guns firing.

V. BOMBAY WAR SERVICES EXHIBITION - Over a lake of people attended the Bombay War Services Exhibition each day. The object of this exhibition was to bring the weapons of war within reach and sight of the average man who could only read about them in the papers. These pictures testify how close they came. Opened by Brigadier St Alban, this exhibition attracted such large crowds, that Sir john Colville, the Governor of Bombay, who was among the distinguished visitors, made a personal request and secured an extension of the exhibition. Only recently out from England, Sir john was in a position to see for himself, and compare the preparations made for the defence of India, with those for the defence of that impregnable fortress, Great Britain. He also saw young India at work in the factories that were to produce, maintain, repair the weapons of World War II. But the main feature and the major attraction were the tanks. They gave a feeling of security and a vivid impression of mechanical warfare, which has become a highly specialised department both in offence and defence. In contrast with that grim spectacle of war came the symbolism provided by the March Past of the colourful procession representing the Allied Nations. Khan Bahadur Mushtaq Ahmed Gurmani presided over Labour Day and outlined the successful progress of the government's Technical Training Scheme which formed an entire section of the exhibition. On Air Force Day, His Highness Air Commodore the Maharaja and Jodhpur, accompanied by air Commodore Vincent inspected a Guard of Honour. The Ladies Day and a parade of the Women's Auxiliary Corps with Senior Commandant Adlard taking the salute. The onlookers naturally turned their attention away from the tanks.

VI. TUNISIA - Pictures showing the gradual liquidation of the Axis troops and Italy's North African Empire. Fall of Tripoli - the Fourth Indian Division and the Battle of Gabes Gap - Indian troops in Mareth Line, Sousse, Kairoun and the big bag of enemy prisoners.

VI. TUNISIA - Although the Battle of North Africa has gone much further than these pictures show how a dull and lollful Continent, accustomed only to mules and Rommel's army quickened in tempo at the sight of hundreds of Allied armoured cars and tanks which marched into Tripolitania on their way to Tunis and Bizerta. Unconditional surrender of puppet French generals working under the Nazi dictation and warm cheers from people who gained back freedom greets General Montgomery as the victorious Eighth Army marches ahead. These pictures are of the battle for Gabes Gap, which was attacked on the morning of March 26th with the gallant Fourth Indian Division as the spearhead of that attack. The story of the rout which these Indians caused in the ranks of the enemy is too well known, and to their bravery even the enemy has paid homage. Wherever you look in that desert strand you found in every nook and corner enemy soldiers now resigned to the idea of being taken prisoners of war and of having lost a battle which their leaders told them they would never lose. In the mountains, South-West of the Mareth Line, a group of Indian Sappers and Miners are performing that magnificent task of clearing the bases and removing the mines laid by the enemy, which enabled our men of the Fourth Indian Division to storm the enemy's strongly fortified flanks. Port of Sousse, battered by the RAF as can be seen in these sad pictures of a shattered quayside. Indian troops on their way through Kairoun, stop for a moment to examine the ancient ruins. Untouched and respected by the Allies was the famous Sidi Sabhi Mosque, seven pilgrimages to which are equivalent to one pilgrimage to Mecca. But these were passing scenes on the way to Tunis and Bizerta, on which long route our soldiers have stopped for nothing, but to pick up enemy prisoners.
