  • Descrizione: Kitchener, in civilian clothes, inspects a parade of Boy Scouts. Next he arrives by car in his blue Field Marshal's uniform to inspect a parade, probably of the London Regiment, outside the Guildhall. He stands, this time in khaki, with the Mayor of Manchester on Manchester Town Hall steps as a parade goes by. In France, February 1916, he inspects a British battalion drawn up in the snow. He shares a saluting base with King George V, and Generals Horne and Rawlinson, as British soldiers march past. He arrives by train at Compiègne station and is met by General Joffre, General Foch and Minister of War Millerand, at the start of his tour of the French Army 15th August 1915. On another part of the tour he talks with French officers while Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Wilson watches. Along with Joffre he watches French exercises from a training trench. The memorial service for Lord Kitchener at Saint Paul's Cathedral, Tuesday 13th June 1916. Cars arrive at the foot of the steps of Saint Paul's bringing the various dignitaries, including the King and Queen. (Thanks to a misplaced scene at this point, Kitchener appears to attend his own memorial service.)
