Hunt Visits Hospital (1914-1918)

Hunt Visits Hospital. Location of events unknown - Surrey? Surrey Union Foxhounds take time out before the hunt to visit disabled children in Queen’s Hospital (for children with hip disease?). Actually the dogs are taken there; they don’t just go on their own. This shot looks like a weird dream. Children in row of old beds; which are on an outdoor porch - a man in riding habit; holding whip; walks up to porch with a bunch of foxhounds. Children delighted; nurses watch. Then shot of men and dogs coming out of building. Men riding horses on road; with the dogs running along. At the side of road; some soldiers or airmen together; and a couple of old men separately; walk by. Bizarre, surreal; animals; recreation; hunting; sports; upper-class.
