Army Cadets parade in Bramdean, Hampshire


William Prall's film starts with cadets lining up for their march along Bramdean's lanes. There is a glimpse of the cadets’ clubhouse as they wait and pose for the camera. Assembling on the road, the march begins led by the drum major twirling a baton. The cadets, dressed in khaki uniforms, make their way through the village, with the band marching in front and the rest following. Following in the rear is a small group of uniformed female cadets.
