Historical information

The procession left Victoria Square shortly after 2 p.m. At the head were the scottish pipers, who were followed by a large band of returned soldiers. The Cheer-up Hut was represented by a party of lady helpers, dressed in white. Then came mothers, fathers, widows, wives, and sisters of soldiers. A squad of shopgirls attracted much attention. Following the Mitcham Camp Band were light horsemen and infantry from Mitcham Camp. ... The Register 12 August 1918 page 3.
