New South Wales Horse Artillery in Action was a short documentary film.[1]

Marius Sestier made two films of the New South Wales Horse Artillery drill at Victoria Barracks, Sydney.[1]

Sestier together with Henry Walter Barnett had made approximately 19 films in Sydney and Melbourne between October and November 1896, these being the very first films recorded in Australia.[2]
