Official duties and big game hunting in 1920s India, filmed by Lord Stephenson's private secretary

This film was shot in late-1920s India by Brigadier EJ Montgomery, private secretary to Lord Stephenson - then Governor of Bihar and Orissa. Most of the animals in the film are of the recently-shot variety, though a bear cub and a fawn do appear very much alive. When Lord Stephenson wasn't shooting big game he was at the Governor's Durbar, a military parade featuring the Royal Scots Fusiliers, and visiting a textile factory. There's a sequence featuring the Jagannath Temple at Puri and scenes of the trip 'home' from Apollo Bund in Bombay (Mumbai) via Aden and Suez.

Amateur film of colonial India.
