- British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
-
- The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
-
- The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.

KING GEORGE REVIEWS AMERICAN TROOPS 1910 - 1919. The footage commences in Wellington Barracks, Birdcage Walk, with the parade then moving up the approach road and arriving in front of Buckingham Palace opposite the Queen Victoria Memorial. The band marching with the contingent is an American Forces band (a static British massed Guards' band can be seen across the road in front of the Q.V. Memorial playing the men past the King). The senior officer shaking hands with the King (may) possibly be Major-General John J. Pershing, the American Expeditionary Force Commanding Officer. The clip then moves on to Westminster Bridge, past the old St. Thomas' Hospital. I'm guessing that the American Army was marching to Waterloo Railway Station prior to their deployment to France in 1917.
My Great Grandfather, Colonel Walter Monteith Whitman of U.S. AEF is shaking hands with King George and reviewing the troops. AMAZING that I found this on video. Very touching moment for me.
