These films are so much more interesting when you know some context. Thanks for the commentaries.
The same exists in French for the Lumière films, btw.
This is incredibly moving
Interesting tidbit (or not!) - Lord Roberts was born 1832-died 1914 and was a hugely influential person in Britain at that time. Fought in the Indian Mutiny of 1857 !! Unbelieveable to see moving pictures of him.
Wow thanks for this interesting video 👋👋
i rekon thats amazing the amount of times ive walked past the queen victoria statue and ive never once thought i wonder what its like to have been there the day that got unvailed well now i know :)
Amazing facts. Lord Roberts horse 'Vannolel' is named after our Great Lushai King 'Vanhnuailiana Sailo'. He named it Vannolel since he doesn't know how to pronounce Vanhnuailiana's name. When he visited our land Lushai hills, he try to meet Vanhnuialiana, but Vanhnuailiana was already dead and his son 'Lalburha Sailo' had welcome them and when he reached the village and when he saw Vanhnuailiana gravestones that was full of human heads he was shocked and amazed.
@madbob73 yes it is wonderful to see a moving picture of him
this is so interesting ,well done 5 star
This is magical all those great women in fancy hats. Love the men in top hats sooo sexy. What was the fez doing there. Quite a crowd control job by the looks of it. Thanks so much for posting these great videos I really enjoy them
Last time I looked somebody had placed an old carboard box on Queen Victorias head, how times change.
1:35 spot the 2nd camera being carried !
I amazed at the quality of the film was it enhanced? Thank you.
I am pretty certain it wasn't. Many of the Mitchell & Kenyon films are very high quality looking films.
My Grandfather
Your Grandpa's horse Vonolel = Vanhnuailiana Sailo. The Great Eastern Lusei Chief of the Lushai Hills.
We Lusei are one of the subtribes of Zo. Zo = Joseph who is our ancestor. The Sailo clan was the most powerful ruling clan of the Lusei tribe.
Your Grandpa is very lucky cause headhunting was very common. Taking the head of the rivals after defeating them was part of the tradition.🙂🙂.
Lushai Expedition began when Bengkhuaia's warriors raided Alexandrapur Tea Garden to show that they're not happy when the Britishers broke their Sa Ui Tan (Treaty). They killed James Winchester and take his daughter Mary Winchester (Half Meitei,Half Scottish) as a hostage.
Britishers annexed our land Zoram and after the decolonisation (1947), it was split into three parts (Mizoram and Kuki Hills of Manipur,Chin State, Chittagong Hills) and handed over to three independent newly countries viz, India, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
But no hard feelings since we will retrieve all of them after Second Indo-China War.
The truth about the Mitchell and Kenyon Film find is incorrect you can find the full facts at the Gregory Audio Visual Website under "News Tab"
Scuffles in the crowd at the end. Many were not happy about losing family in the Second Boer War. Men in uniforms giving medals to survivors doesn't bring their sons, fathers, brothers, husbands, uncles.., home.
@Red Devil9 - "Large numbers of people had turned out for the occasion but the grandstand erected for the dignitaries rather dominated the area and restricted the view of the large numbers of "ordinary" people who apparently made their discontent clear. The organizing committee and the police were criticized and it was said that only good fortune prevented someone from being killed." [Quote from manchesterhistory.net] There may have been some in the crowd who objected to the waste of British soldiers during the war (which didn't end until 1902), but what is your source for saying that "many" of them were not happy?
I can assure you that the family of the 26 000 Boer women and children murderer in the concentration camps were not happy either. But SA's gold wasn't going to annex itself right?
