Cast

Production

The film incorporates footage from the documentary How We Fought the Emden.

It was shot at the Rushcutters Bay studio.[6]

Release

The film was popular at the box office. Actor C. Post Mason took a print with him to Canada in 1916 and screened the film over there.[1] It was also known as How We Fought the Emden[7] and The Sydney-Emden Fight.[8]

The Motion Picture News said the film was put on "principally with the idea of drawing patrons from" For Australia and was "merely a succession of interest and topical subjects woven together, and a plot that does not reflect much credit on either the author or producers".[9]

The movie was later combined with another Australian war film, For Australia (1915) to create a new movie, For the Honour of Australia (1916).
