The last encampment, held at Rochester. N.Y., was a notable one, inasmuch as the grand parade marked the closing of that feature of the yearly gatherings of the veterans. This has been decided upon owing to the fact that the old heroes are becoming too feeble to stand the hardships of the long march and in the future they will meet, with campfire and song, and with speeches and reminiscences while they renew old acquaintance. One by one they are passing away, to be remembered as gallant soldiers who fought for what they believed was right. The Imp Company, with commendable enterprise, had camera men on the ground at Rochester and preserved in film the last big demonstration of the old "Boys in Blue" that will ever be held. There were upwards of 25,000 men in line of march and the views are excellent ones. The parade was viewed by President Taft, General Grant, as well as the department officers of the Grand Army of the Republic. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
