IWM Demobilisation process

[Skipman]

IWM Demobilisation process (3.02) Unfortunately this film does not seem to play at the moment, but I'm sure it will eventually?

Object description

Troops going through final demobilisation procedure in Britain at the end of the First World War.
Full description

The men, from various regiments, all go into a building marked "Entrance for Troops for Dispersal". They are checked off against a list, each handed their discharge papers (?) and issued with civilian clothing. They hand in their discharge papers and check out at the Pay Office where they receive their final pay or discharge bonus. One soldier from the Worcestershire Regiment (?) is shown laughing over his money and papers. They board a train at a suburban station. Shortly afterwards, another train carrying a new batch of soldiers arrives.
Physical description

35mm

Interesting that the Enlistment process film takes 18.11 and the Demobilisation 3.02
