Sports At Greenwich (1914-1918)

Sports at Greenwich, London. Naval cadet sports. Young boys in various contests. 3-Legged race; front diag. shot; teams of boys race toward camera; and one pair falls down right in front of it; then their heads pop up again in foreground and they hobble on. Spectators watch alongside. Next; boys attempt to run up a tall and very steep slope; but the first few slide back down. This looks like boot camp for children. Then a boy runs up high enough to grasp the top and pull himself over (hooray! SL). Another boy makes it; too. Shot looking up at a boy in dark cadet uniform standing high up on the prow of a ship (?); doing signals with 2 flags; a figurehead of a winged Venus is attached to the prow. Then a group shot of smiling boys in uniforms; all crowded together, sitting on a cannon, cheering and waving their caps in excitement. Military; signal; code; boats and ships.
