A uniformed police officer on horseback leading a patriotic procession including bandsmen and decorated vehicles along the main street at Aldgate in the Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia. A researcher has suggested that this may be the procession of the Adelaide Hills patriotic carnival, held on Saturday 15 February 1919 to raise funds for the repatriation of soldiers after the First World War. The carnival included a procession, which was composed of two groups, one marching from Crafers and the other from Aldgate, meeting at the Stirling Hotel, along with a fair, sports carnival, and a concert. For more details see 'The Advertiser', 17 February 1919, page 10, 'Hills Gala Day'.
