A black and white photograph of British reservists leaving the Berlin train station. A crowd of well-wishers stands on the right facing the camera. Several of the reservists are leaning out the windows on the railway car. One of the departing reservists holds a flag with a British ensign, while two men hold the other end from the train station platform.
The British reservists were among the first to enlist and leave for Europe to fight in the First World War.
Ernest Denton was a photographer in Berlin/Kitchener from approximately 1912 to 1955. He operated photography studios at various locations in the city.
