C.I.V. Procession. Second Half of the Battalion

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.
160. C.I.V. PROCESSION. SECOND HALF OF THE BATTALION. This Photograph opens as the band of the 21st Middlesex is passing into the picture. Immediately behind follows the band of the 1st Middlesex, and then, marching steadily and splendidly together, come several hundreds of the brave City Imperial Volunteers. This photograph having been taken at an early portion of the route, the procession passes exactly as it was originally formed, for it had not yet felt the stress of the too eager crowds which a little later on transformed it into a struggling lind of soldiers. Length, 100ft.

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

First come the Bands of the 21st and 1st Middlesex, and then come several hundreds of the brave City Imperial Volunteers. This photograph, taken at an early portion of the route shows the Procession exactly as originally formed, for it had not yet felt the stress of the crowds which later on transformed it into a struggling line of soldiers.

	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.
