Summary: I. Newsreel item on a medical students' rag in London, probably before the First World War.
II. Newsreel item on a "Chinese bakers' strike" in New Zealand, probably before the First World War.
Description: Students from Charing Cross Hospital are taken by an open-topped bus to Richmond Rugby Football Club grounds, where, most of them in fancy dress, they hold a mock rugby match, 'fighting' for a small flag.
The bakers walk in procession through the streets of Auckland, led by a band and carrying with them a large symbolic loaf (see notes).
