This (now in colour!) film shows maritime Cornwall at the height of the first world war. Clips show Looe, Polperro, St Ives (with artist!) and children climbing over the wreck of a boat. Despite conscription having been introduced in March that year fishermen were largely exempt from the draft as theirs was considered a reserved occupation. We found this film in the BFI library of film on YT a few years back but this post shows it colourised and cleaned up by Colourful History.
