The film was restored after a relative of Pte Cunningham donated the footage to the York Army Museum.Pte Cunningham was from a Hull travelling family and enlisted in the East Yorkshire Regiment at the age of 17 when World War One began in 1914. "Pte Cunningham went with a bombing section up a communication trench where much opposition was met and all the rest of the section were either killed or wounded," the dispatch said.
