Army Life; or, How Soldiers Are Made: Mounted Infantry is an 1900 British short black-and-white silent propaganda actuality film, directed by Robert W. Paul, featuring the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment riding over a plain. The film, which premiered on 18 September 1900 (1900-09-18) at the Alhambra Theatre in London, England, "is all that appears to remain of one of R.W. Paul's most ambitious projects," which, according to Micahael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "had it survived in a more complete form," "would undoubtedly be considered one of the most important precursors of the modern documentary."
The original two-hour programme was shown in two parts; the first covered the process from recruitment to initial training, and contained five sections: Joining the Army, Training at the Regimental Depot, Camp Life at Aldershot, Army Gymnastics at the Central Gymnasium, Aldershot and The Comissionaire Corps; while the second explored the various branches of the army, and included Training of Cavalry at Canterbury, Royal Army Medical Corps, Royal Horse Artillery at Woolwich, Army Service Corps, Garrison Artillery, Infantry (from which this surviving fragment comes) and Royal Engineers.
The film is included on the BFI DVD R.W. Paul: The Collected Films 1895-1908.

À la terrasse d'un pub, deux jeunes gens élégants (blazers et chapeaux de paille) jouent aux échecs. L'un d'eux, profitant d'un moment d'inattention de son partenaire, déplace une pièce décisive. L'autre s'en aperçoit, une querelle s'installe, le tricheur se voit pincer le nez et riposte en aspergeant son adversaire d'eau de Seltz. Ils en viennent aux mains, renversent la table, roulent à terre, disparaissant à nos yeux. Le combat se poursuit, hors-champ, une jambe surgit, un bras brandissant une chaussure, les canotiers traversent les airs, les cravates, les vestes giclent en tous sens… Le serveur arrive, scandalisé, et remonte (dans le champ de la caméra) les deux querelleurs, couverts d'ecchymoses et étourdis de coups.
