AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An original, physical 35mm film fragment on safety film is offered, bearing the edge imprint “GEVAERT BELGIUM – SAFETY”.
The film footage shows the label “LA SEMAINE – LES ACTUALITÉ FRANÇAISES”. The footage depicts an official military ceremony with Belgian soldiers and a banner clearly displaying the historical mentions: ITALY – YUGOSLAVIA – WALCHEREN.
These mentions correspond to the historical combat listings of the Belgian Commando Regiment.
The footage is linked, based on its historical context, to the Belgian military presence and the first Congo voyages of the T.N.A. Kamina (AP957) in 1953. The Kamina was used during this period for transporting Belgian paracommandos to Belgian Congo.
Historical sources state that the Kamina departed Zeebrugge on 15 April 1953 for its first Congo voyage with a detachment of Belgian paracommandos. Among those present at the ceremony were Prince Albert and other Belgian dignitaries.
The naval officer visible in the footage is, in the historical context, associated with Commandant Johann Carl Otto Böting, who was commander of the Kamina at that time.
Important: the identification of the event, persons and the ship is based on historical context and comparison with available documentation. This description does not claim formal archival certification or forensic identification of each individual film frame.
Condition
The film is in original vintage condition and shows normal signs of age and wear. The footage is still visible. The fragment is stored rolled.
This is an original physical film fragment, not a modern reproduction.
The exact total length has not been determined; the film is offered as pictured.
Copyright / rights
The sale concerns solely the physical, original film fragment that I possess.
I am not selling a license, copyright, reproduction right, digital copy, scan or exploitation right to the original newsreel or the audiovisual content it contains.
The buyer receives the physical film fragment as described and shown.

- Belgian military history
