[General view]. 425 x 135 mm. A general panorama with the Acting Governor standing by the memorial before unveiling, taken from a building in Church Street and showing the entire parade; the plan of the ceremony on the Order of Service and the clarity of the photograph make it possible to identify the service units and the various local bodies - Boy Scouts, police, disabled soldiers in wheel chairs, etc. A photographer with a tripod camera is in the foreground.
Good condition, apart from central crease due to folding of the picture.. |
