Default "Letter from Camp Borden" early WW2 film

I found this link and thought it would be a good one to share.

It is a grainy and strong contrast early WW2 Canadian publicity film. Footage of Vickers Light Tanks and US Ford M1917s, as well as CMPs. A cutaway driver trainer, and Roll Pitch Yaw Attitude simulator also appear. There are many scenes of Camp Borden, including a lame stab at mess hall food. There are plenty of fellows smoking cigarettes, and the film ends with men singing the song of the "Tank Corps" which closely resembles, "As the caissons go rolling along".
