Despite his injured arm, Edward, the Prince Of Wales and future king, visits Mill Hill School's vast war memorial in front of schoolboys and serviceman.

There are good shots here of Mill Hill School and its impressive war memorial, a classical arch of Portland stone, as well as cheery scenes of soldiers saluting the Prince of Wales, raising their hats on the ends of rifle to give him three cheers. The prince's arm is in a sling, having injured his arm in a hunting accident. The memorial is now Grade II-listed.
