MARCH OF AIRMEN THROUGH CITY
AUSTRALIA IS THERE Marching proudly in the footsteps of a fighting force which has won the acclaim of the world, members of the Royal Australian Air Force and the Royal New Zealand Air Force paraded through the city on November sth. Entirely unheralded, the march nevertheless attracted large crowds, who lined the route as the troops swung past. It was an inspiring sight. The parade was led by the Papakura Camp Band, which struck into “There’ll Always Be An England” as the men, with Australia in the van, entered Quay Street on the start of their long march. The route was up Anzac Avenue and Symonds Street to Karangahape Road, then through Queen Street. Here there were scenes of enthusiasm •as the windows of buildings fronting the street were lined with cheering people and crowds left the footpath to line the route to the Ferry Buildings. Australians and New Zealanders were cheered impartially.
