Description:
The film begins with a medium shot of D Company’s bugler and is followed by the Company, in uniform and with rifles, assembling on Trinity Road in Birmingham. In a column they are led to Aston Park by a marching military band. In the park soldiers from the company perform drills and exercises in front of a large civilian crowd. These include: machine gun practice; repelling an aerial attack; bayonet practice and unarmed combat. There are also shots of unidentified officers who are overseeing events. When the display of skills has been concluded the Company marches out of the park and past a number of Home Guard officers. Finally the company returns to Trinity Road where they 'fall out' and there are some close up shots of the soldiers, several of whom light cigarettes as they mill about in the street.
