Description: | I. Newsreel item on a procession of the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem through the streets of London (?), January 1918.
II. Newsreel item on horsebreaking in Palestine, December 1917.
The procession includes acolytes, banners, and the knights themselves wearing cloaks marked with the cross of their order.
A difficult horse has been fitted with a complicated harness attached to a post, which makes it difficult for him to buck or roll, or do much else but go in circles. The horsebreakers appear to be British or possibly Australian troops.
