The people who do this deserve so much credit.

I love how far technology has come. This is as close to time travel we've got so far and it stuns me.
-
Absolutely beautiful and clear restoration, most films from that earlier era of film making are scratchy, fade in and out. Whoever put in the effort and hard work, thank you for bringing history even more to life!

I did some research and found this Baseball match take place on the 4th of July 1918. It was called the Great War Baseball Match, the Day Wartime London Stopped for Baseball, July the 4th 1918, by Anglo-American Baseball Project. So those of us who thought the Lemon Squeezer hats belonged to New Zealanders, like me, are wrong as the Americans also had a Lemon Squeezer hat similar to ours.

This is simply amazing. To see Winston Churchill so young too! Thank you for the wonderful restoration ❤

My God, I have seen George the V in pictures, but to see him that clearly, and a young Churchill with that detail...I am speechless.

This is just mesmorising footage. Quite overwhelming but fantastic. It reminds me that life here is so short, we are really a mist that appears for a short time. A gentle reminder to be kind to those around you.

My grandma was a school child in 1918. When she was an old lady and I was at school, she told me that so much had happened in her life, we went from horses and carts to men on the moon.

How smart everyone looks. Amazing film . Brings the past to life.

Amazing!!! My Nan was 18 years old when this was taken. Born in 1900, she lived until 1994. She lived very much in the present, but I treasure her memories of her youth.

The soot blackened buildings are worth noting . It used to be terrible in London I remember in the early fifties we had many smog ridden days when you couldn’t even leave the house and it’s incredible now how clean they all are since banning of coal fires .

The quality of the enhancements is incredible.. It truly brings these people and their surroundings to life. The detail, the faces, just amazing. A time long gone….

It's amazing how much the world has changed in only just over 100 years, all those wars, inventions, fashion etc etc

Overwhelming!!! Like looking through a window into the past. Everyone celebrating the end of the war, and honouring those who didn’t make it. Very moving.
