I remember when Kitchener returned to Southampton from South Africa I was determined to possess a good series of views, but it seemed as though the fates were against me, for on arriving at the quay there was a huge crowd, and I was, unfortunately, late. All the best positions had been secured by hand camera and living picture men, and I desponded of getting anywhere near the site where the gangway was to be placed, consequently I had to go by the back of the crowd right to the side of the quay, and there forced my way up to the Guard of Honour, where luckily I got some boxes and set my apparatus right over the heads of those in front. I had a stroke of luck, and instead of the early birds catching the worm, had the satisfaction of seeing the gangway lowered right in front of where I had taken my stand, and I secured one of the best views as Lord Kitchener walked right up and stood unknowingly in the face of my camera. |
