Tank At Dudley (1914-1918)

Tank at Dudley, West Midlands. A small group of people stand on top of a tank in the middle of a large crowd in a town street - war bond drive? Lots of umbrellas in the crowd, and one held by the people on the tank - looks like a really miserable day. Pan left to show crowds - it looks like some people are watching from the top of an open bus. Mayor and other officials, some military, stand beside the tank. Pan across crowds of people, who seem to be standing outside woollen merchants warehouse. One man has crutches. Military officers stand on top of stacked sandbags. Crowds disperse and mill about, staring at camera. M/S of cinema with signs for ’The Secret Kingdom’. Sign above entrance reads ’Continuous Performances’. M/S of people gathered round monument or war memorial with bunting across it - Armistice day? M/S of curved front of house with Union Jack flag and bunting flags hanging from it.
