Train Load of C.I.V.'s Leaving Southampton for London

London's brave citizen soldiers step for the first time upon their native soil after their perilous sojourn in the Transvaal. No sooner does the Aurania, which has brought these brave soldiers from Cape Town, draw up to the quay, then the gangways are placed across and the men run gladly ashore. In this photograph, although it was of necessity taken early in the morning, the men are splendidly defined, and the photograph is a really excellent one of a most interesting subject. The faces can be very clearly seen and easily recognised by those who are familiar with them. Length, 75ft.

Trainload of C.I.V.'s Leaving Southampton for London

Showing the train steaming along the quays at Southampton. The train is drawn by a gaudily decorated engine bearing the magic letters C.I.V., and, as it steams past, the men lean out of their windows and wave their hats, and shout merrily to their acquaintances on the quay.

Train Load of C.I.V.'s Leaving Southampton for London

On disembarking from the Aurania the City Volunteers immediately entrained for London. This photograph shows the train steaming along the quays at Southampton immediately after taking in its load of soldiers. The train is drawn by a gaudily decorated engine bearing the magic letters C.l.V, and as it steams past the men lean out of their windows and wave their hats and shout merrily to their acquaintances on the guay.
