Rare footage of Old Karachi

Karachi as seen by a British soldier sometime between 1942 and 1947: lively street scenes, animals, buildings, life in the Karachi Cantonment, followed by the journey back towards Britain on a troop ship through the Suez Canal. The author of the film obviously developed a liking of Karachi and its people.
Truly instructional. The soldier has done Karachites a big favor in recording a part of history.
