The video shows a group of soldiers standing around a cannon that is emitting smoke. The soldiers are wearing helmets and uniforms, and some are holding rifles. The cannon is positioned on a hill, and there are trees in the background. The soldiers appear to be observing the cannon, possibly preparing for an attack or demonstration. The smoke from the cannon is thick and white, and it is billowing out in large clouds. The soldiers are standing in a loose formation, with some closer to the cannon and others further back on the hill. The video is in black and white, and the soldiers' uniforms are dark, contrasting with the white smoke.
