C.I.V. Procession-The Sick and Wounded

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.
162. C.I.V. PROCESSION. THE SICK AND WOUNDED. Last, but very far from least, in this memorable procession, came the invalids, marching steadily and bravely after their more fortunate brothers, and, indeed, only distinguishable from them by the fact that they carried no armes, and immediately after them came the char-à-bancs carrying those of the sick and wounded who were unable to march with the others. The rear of the procession is brought up by the Life Guards.
This last film is of intrinsic interest, and its great variety makes a very pleasing and effective film.

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.

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.
