C.I.V. Procession. The Battery

C.I.V. Procession. The Battery

The following four films were taken from a special position in Hyde-park, commanding a view along the Edgware-road, and they show the procession coming forward from the extreme distance and turning round right in the foreground of the picture. The views are all most effective, and are at the same time very picturesque and beautiful representations of an unique ceremony.
157. C.I.V. PROCESSION. THE BATTERY. This film shows the earlier portion of the procession, consisting of the C.I.V. Battery and the Mounted Infantry. First come the men belonging to the Battery, with their khaki-coloured gun carriages, &c. They are followed by the Bands of the London Rifle Brigade, The Victoria and St. George's Rifles, the Inns of Court Rifles, and the Pipers and Buglers of the London Scottish. Following these, again, comes a portion of the C.I.V. Mounted Infantry. An exceedingly beautiful effect is obtained where the men wheel round a refuge in the roadway and come right past in the foreground of the picture. Length, 75ft.

The Era, Londres, samedi 3 novembre 1900, p. 31.

	The C.I.V. Procession. An opportunity unique in the history of the nation was given to the cinematographers of London when our heroic citizens returned home from the battlefield, and this opportunity was of course seized by Messrs. Hepworth and Co., of Walton-on-Thames, who obtained four excellent films of the procession as it came along Edgware Road. We hear on good authority that these films are some of the finest taken on that momentous day, and they will be fully appreciated by all the true loyalists of our country who know so well how to give honour and praise to those by whom it is merited. Messrs. Hepworth & Co. have also a long list of other interesting pictures, including some of the C.I.V.'s on their way home, and many other attractive subjects. The Showman, décembre 1900, p. 22.

	Then there are several more of these alleged 'comics' whose only interest now is that they seem to show gradual progress to better work, and then we come to more news pictures of the return of the C.I.V.s from South Africa, and to no less than nine films of life in the British Army and thirty similarly devoted to the Navy-all, I think, taken by our new recruit, H. V. Lawley, who had, by then, been with us long enough to learn how to use a camera, and use it to good effect.
