[Wartime parade, Vancouver]

Amateur film. "The footage . . . shows a parade, mounted in the early days of World War II, marching down Granville Street, shot from a window high up in the original Eaton's building. All the while a Union Jack flutters back and forth across the window. Scenes include a float with a world globe and Union Jack, soldiers marching, clowns with batons, floats with soldiers and a plane, a fighter plane, and various trucks, marching men, soldiers and bands. At the end there is a shot of Granville Street and pedestrians from street level." (Colin Browne)
