South Africa - 1900-1902 3rd Volunteer Battalion of The Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment and its involvement with the Boer campaign.
They arrived at London Bridge,then marched along Tooley St, Dockhead and Parkers Row, accompanied by their band, before lining up at Spa Road, outside the Town Hall as we see them here. The day before the event, a treaty had formally ended the Boer War, bringing peace.
The Queen’s’ was based at the drill hall that existed up until a couple of years ago on Abbey Street, at the junction with Jamaica Road.
