A widely acknowledged leader in the WW1 film field of was Geoffry Malins.
The pinnacle of the footage shot by Malins and his assistant John McDowell in 1916 is represented in the feature The Battle of the Somme. The huge success of the film led to the release of The Battle of the Ancre and the Advance of the Tanks but Malins’ work at the front was hampered by increasing ill health. He was invalided out of the army in June 1918. (from) Geoffrey Malins – Wikipedia
