Overview
The huge crowds at this military and civic parade have turned out to celebrate Robert Baden-Powell as the hero of the 217-day Siege of Mafeking, a few years before he launched the Boy Scout movement for which he's best remembered today. Baden-Powell poses with an upper-class family before travelling with the mayor by open carriage to a warm reception at the Ambulance Brigade's new Drill Hall.
