Description
A party of unidentified Australian soldiers, who had been invalided from the Gallipoli Peninsula, waiting to move off from Monte Video camp in southern England to catch a train. They had been selected to take part in the Lord Mayor's Procession. This ancient tradition began in 1215, when the citizens of London were allowed to elect a mayor for the first time. The newly elected Mayor was required by the King's charter to make a journey from the City to Westminster to swear allegiance to the Crown. The procession still takes place today; known as the Lord Mayor's Show, it brings together the defence forces, police, Londoners, businesses, charities and livery companies in a celebration of London's past and present.
