AN IMPRESSIVE SPECTACLE DURING THE BRILLIANT MARCH THROUGH LONDON OF THE ALLIED TROOPS ON JULY 19, THE DAY APPOINTED FOR THE EMPIRE PEACE CELEBRATIONS. INFANTRY WITH THEIR COLOURS PASSING THE MEMORIAL TO THE DEAD IN WHITEHALL. The most appealing incidents of the day were at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. This monument, a pillar of massive simplicity, crowned with a great laurel wreath, was inscribed to “The Glorious Dead.” Four Guardsmen stood at the corners of the memorial with arms reversed and heads bowed. Emotion was almost unbearable when such victors as Sir Douglas Haig, Marshal Foch, General Pershing, and Admiral Beatty saluted the dead.
