In order that there may be a permanent record of the work carried on by the British Legion, its activities are now being .filmed. The film will enable the public to see exactly what is being done for the care of those disabled in the War, the widows and dependants of those who were killed, and those exService men who are now in distressed circumstances. Chesterfield House, London, has just passed into the hands of the housebreaker, and a block of flats is to take its place. The high walls surrounding the house are reminiscent of the days when the gentry kept their own watchmen, and within the walls the kingdom of their household, administering the law in their own peculiar fashion, independent of the outside world.
