World War One. Parade in San Francisco part of National Preparedness Campaign in the United States of America (USA). USA still following policy of neutrality and isolationism at this time.
Shot of men wearing suits marching down wide street waving American flags. Some carry a banners. More flags and banners hang from buildings. A woman dressed as statue of liberty walks in parade. C/U of group of men posing with two large flags (one is tattered Stars and Stripes, other may be California State flag?)
Chaotic scene follows - looks like aftermath of bomb explosion or riot? Injured men, women and children are being carried to ambulance, men carry stretchers to move more of the injured, policemen on foot and on horseback try to control the situation.
M/S of men, one wearing Sheriff's badge, crowding around two dead bodies on pavement, lots of blood and debris surrounds them. M/S of man crouching in back of (police?); he is supporting the head of badly wounded man, he looks scared. Policemen help old man with tattered clothes (from bomb blast?) into van, old man holding flag (from earlier rally).
Cataloguer's note: very little background information for this item exists - not sure if the parade and the disaster are even connected. Any more information concerning this item would be greatly appreciated!

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 images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
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.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
