Seaforths passing in front of the Seaforth Armoury on Sunday 7 October 1945 at the end of the homecoming parade. When the victorious Seaforths returned home to Vancouver, over 200,000 people turned out to welcome them home, lining the streets from the train station to the Armoury on Burrard Street.This photo was taken by Claude P. Dettloff and used in Reg Roy's history. From page 446 of Dr. Roy's History: "The sight of the battalion led by the Pipes and Drums coming over the Burrard Bridge would never be forgotten. In perfect step, with kilts swinging to the skirl of "Scotland the Brave", with colours flying and the cheering from the crowds growing even louder, the battalion swung into the huge parade ground behind the Armoury. Here the entire regiment lined up - both battalions, the cadets, the overseas veterans who marched with the returning unit. Surrounding the square were the men's families and relatives whom they had not seen in years, yet the discipline was such that no one broke ranks. The formalities were exceedingly brief - a few one-minute welcome speeches by several dignitaries, a brief reply by Lt-Col. D.M. (Don) Clark, and then the order "Dismiss". There was hardly an instant's pause before the Seaforths on the parade square were engulfed as veterans and civilians merged in an indescribable scene of happiness. The Seaforths were home."
