Fiction Adaptation: Film - Archive Footage

Where can I find it, and what do I want?

As I plan to have some archive footage for my film, I begun research to search for what I wanted. Below are some ideas of the footage which I would need:

     - Footage of British soldiers marching
     - Explosions and shootings: footage of the inside of the war
     - Potential dead bodies laying on the floor
     - Wounded soldier being pulled to safety

The first site I came across was called "DV Archive" - a royalty free website which consists of archive footage. This I thought would be very helpful until I found out that although it is royalty free, you still have to pay for the footage.

"Clip DJ": http://clip.dj/world-war-one-footage-download-mp3-mp4-ZVDUXPB_sTs

The soldier's post-war

Nonetheless, I continued to search until I came across a shared website called 'Clip DJ' - a website which finds what you search for and enables you to download the videos instantly for free. This too is royalty free meaning I will be able to use this footage for my film.

I came across a clip which almost had everything I wanted - it had a clip of an explosion, the soldiers before the war, someone carrying a dead body and images from the trenches ( as you can see from the images). Nonetheless I continued to research to see if there were any more shots such as the war in action and generally just having more footage for backup.

I then came across another clip which consisted of one long shot showing the frontline of the British vs. the Germans. It is extremely intense - you can see soldiers shooting each other straight up and clear footage of those who fell. It even shows tanks coming into the line and an airstrike which is evident for a couple of seconds (which you can see from the images)

As I don't aim to have much archive footage for my film, I feel that I have all the footage that'll I'll need.
