Ellerman’s Hospital (1914-1920)

Ellerman’s Hospital. Location of events unclear / unknown. Man walking with crutches down short corridor towards camera. His arms are doing all the work; he lurches forward on the crutches; then drags his legs along behind. But he sets quite a fast pace and looks very pleased. He stops; breaks into a happy grin and hits one fist into the other palm. Then he turns and lurches back. Another back and forth run. Next the man doing some more practise / exercise outdoors in a garden. He is probably a disabled veteran who was wounded in World War One. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
