WORLD WAR I, 1914 - 1918 (GENERAL)

PREMIÈRE GUERRE MONDIALE, 1914 - 1918 (GÉNÉRAL)

Colonial soldiers march in the Victory Parade, London, 1919

Colonial (possibly Australian) foot soldiers, London, 1919. There is an unknown pipe band behind them. Argus [Newspaper], Monday 5 May 1919: DOMINIONS MARCH Royal Spectators The march of dominion troops through London on Saturday took place in glorious weather. The whole route was thronged with cheering crowds. Canada led, then came the Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, and Newfoundlanders as named. The King stood on a dais with the Queen and the Prince of Wales and Prince Alexander of Connaught. The saluting base was in front of Buckingham Palace where His Majesty, King George V took the salute. On the ground in front of the dais were the Minister for War (Mr Winston Churchill) and a group of army commanders, including Sir Douglas Haig, Sir Herbert Plumer, and Sir William Birdwood. Opposite to the dais were several hundreds of wounded dominion soldiers seated. Fourteen aeroplanes manoeuvred over the procession, but no dare-devil tricks were attempted.
