"RUMANIA DECLARES WAR ON THE SIDE OF CIVILISATION AND THE ENTENTE POWERS: MEN AND ARTILLERY WHO HAVE BEEN IN STRICT TRAINING SINCE THE OUTBREAK OF THE EUROPEAN WAR". A horse-drawn gun carriage charges across an open stretch of land; the gun is unlimbered and prepared for action; infantrymen stack their rifles in 'tripod' form, remove the packs from their backs and quickly form two ranks.
