Diggers

Diggers features two ex-servicemen who reminisce about their time in France during WW1. Their stories include humorous antics like feigning deafness in a field hospital to prolong their recovery and stealing rum from the Quartermaster. The narrative is enriched through the song 'Mademoiselle from Armentieres', capturing a moment of romance in a French café before returning to the front.

With a runtime of 61 minutes, this film offers a glimpse into early Australian cinema and its comedic take on wartime experiences. Directed by F.W. Thring, Diggers showcases the charm of the comedy genre in the early 1930s, making it a notable piece for collectors interested in historical Australian films or the evolution of comedy in cinema.
