The Review by the King of the London Division of
the National Reserve in Hyde Park on Saturday last proved, as we were sure it would prove, a most impressive spectacle. The London Division now numbers some 32,000 men, and of these about 20,000—the number has been variously stated—were present under the command of Sir Evelyn Wood, to whose untiring zeal and energy the movement owes so much. The London Division has been carefully and effectively organized into companies, battalions, and brigades, and it was owing to this sound foundation that the whole of the complicated and difficult arrangements for collecting the men throughout the areas administered by the City and County of London Territorial Associations, marching them into Hyde Park, and there marshalling them in review order were carried out so successfully. The men gathered first at the town halls of the various London boroughs and thence marched to places of assembly nearer the Park. For example, the Greenwich Brigade, under the command of Lord Dundonald, assembled in Birdcage Walk, and the City Brigade in the Mall, The discipline maintained was perfect, and it was a most impressive sight to watch the columns of stalwart well-set-up men, most of them in the prime of life, passing through the streets.
