The 6th Welsh on embarkation parade, Swansea, October 1914.



Returning depleted but unbowed, 1919.





Life, to be sure,
Is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were young.

Do you know where in Swansea they were filmed?

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Poll: Should Dippy Drakeford do us all a massive favour and just bog off?

The 1914 clip is marching out of Richardson Street onto St. Helen’s Road.

The second clip from 1919 I would guess was filmed in the old, vanished centre. Possibly marching from the Wind St that was into the Castle Square area?

If anybody knows for sure it would be interesting to find out.
