The Coolie Corps on Film – archive footage of the CLC at work during WW1

The Imperial War Museum’s archive has some rare and amazing footage of members of the Chinese Labour Corps (The Coolie Corps – see Mark O’Neil’s recent history of the CLC in the Penguin China WW1 series) at work and play, along with British soldiers and the Corps’ officers available to view online. There appears to be footage of the Corps working both in England to ship munitions and equipment to France and also close to the battle lines on the Western Front itself
