This cine film clip was taken on 4th July 1913 at the Royal Show in Bristol. The men being inspected by King George V are members of the Crimean and Indian Mutiny Veterans Association Bristol. A number of postcards of this event were published and one shows the tripod and camera of the cine photographer.
More of this later!

Re the above I've had another look at the postcards which leads me to revise my earlier post. The King is wearing a different coat and the veterans different headgear. The Royal Show buildings though are the same. Further research should reveal the association to which the veterans belonged. More later.

From other film in your collection it would appear that this was taken at Aldershot around 1913- 1914. Do you have any other details re this?
