Baseball - Canadians V Americans - Lord Mayor attends, 1916.
London
Very good film of baseball game between Canadian soldiers and Americans in London; played on a field surrounded by rows of 4-story houses. Opens with shot of Lord Mayor; in top hat; etc. shaking hands with one of the players; then stands with audience in BG. Lord Mayor shakes with player from other team (his shirt says 'Epsom' and has what looks like a maple leaf; Canadian symbol.)
Lord Mayor; minus hat; throws out first ball. Side view of batter at the plate; with catcher behind him; batter gets a hit and runs; and another base runner comes in to home. Cut to another great shot: runner heading for base; as the baseman tries to catch the ball; the two nearly collide. Great fun stuff.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
