| Description: | Last Crimean Veteran. Full Military honours for Pte. R. Shiers - late of the 17th Lancers - the "Death or Glory Boys" who served in the Crimea Indian Mutiny and Turkish Campaigns. London M/S soldiers in busby helmets shoulder arms. The camera pans to a gun carriage. A brass band marches. It looks misty as mounted soldiers pass, followed by men in top hats and other mourners at the funeral. | |
