The "cycle ambulance" in story 5 consists of three bicycles supporting a stretcher (one cycle in the front, two in the back).

The description of story 8 (reference BP010115186823) matches with the footage on the film reel. However, the online clip is not a complete version (it does not match either the original film story or the description on the web page). The original clip also includes footage from NPU 24 story 5.

Ren Dorme, Albert Louis Deullin, and Georges Guynemer were French fighter aces.

Raymond Poincar, incorrectly referenced as Poincaris in story 9, was the President of France from 1913-1920.

Story 10 includes a variety of shots not related to the title, including men on horseback riding through the desert and footage of Indian soldiers on the march.

Story 11 - the football players include some patients on crutches.

Unless noted on the story title, the production date is tentative.
