Boys' Brigade in Hatch End


The sun-soaked streets of Hatch End see the Boys Brigade marching uniformly for their inspection. What follows is a charming opportunity to see the Company members under a more personal light: each member of each Patrol is given the opportunity to own the screen, some appearing perfectly natural, but most laughing nervously under the eye of the camera. The beaming smiles of the Company conclude the film and add a particular and special joy to this short home movie.
