        Lord Kitchener's Arrival at Southampton - July 12th

        Horatio Herbert Kitchener gets an enviable welcome on his return from the Second Boer War.

        Non-Fiction 1902 1 mins Silent

        Overview

        There are only a handful of surviving films featuring the man behind the iconic 'Lord Kitchener Wants You' recruitment poster - and few offer more of a contrast with that solemn, arresting image than this.
