Women march in support of the war effort. 'WOMEN'S MARCH THROUGH LONDON: A vast procession of women headed by Mrs Pankhurst, march through London to show the Minister of Munitions their willingness to help in any war service'. Filmed from a rooftop, the procession, which is quite large, is seen walking past. The women carry banners containing such slogans as "Mobilise Brains & Energy of Women" and "Three cheers for our gallant soldiers" The complete issue apparently contains an item showing the culmination of the march, with the ladies meeting with Lloyd George, but nothing of it survives on this print.
