Overview

Watched by crowds, Sir Redvers Buller, Lady Buller, the Mayor of Southampton and others walk along the gangway leading to the ship towards the camera. Sir Redvers pauses to be introduced to one of the ship's officers before embarking. According to BFI programme notes, the filmmaker William K.L.

Film companies were in competition to film reportage of the Boer War and Dickson was one of those filmmakers keen to do so.
