Re: Opening Of Drill Hall By General Baden-Powell

I thought it would be obvious the police wouldn't be carrying rifles.
Near the middle of the film are the East Lancs in dress uniform, with the Long Lee Enfields, and near the end are the Cadets with the Martini Henry's. At the rear are the local Fire Brigades,

I think the best part of the film is that of the young lad in the background who obviously got bored by the all proceeding and decided to clamber up the front of the town hall.
