Indian Army Parade

Indian Army Parade


The British Indian Army present arms for the camera in this early actuality film

Trumpets to the front, rifles to the back, the British Indian Army parade for the camera to impressive effect. Like many early films without titles or credits, identifying the precise occasion requires detective work. The film has been provisionally dated from the surviving original film stock, but while the stadium and buildings glimpsed in the background offer tantalising clues, the location is currently unknown.

MS race course? Ranks of turbanned soldiers march towards the camera. The first
group have trumpets, the rest carry rifles. They are accompanied by two
Europeans on horseback.
