This is a unique photograph as it was taken on Salisbury Plain in August 1914
after
war had been declared and was a deliberate show of strength and loyalty to the nation.
Already there was the beginning of a stampede to return home as soon as possible in order to enlist immediately. Second Lt Leonard Cass leads the contingent with Sec Lt
Arthur Weller in the left foreground.
