Notes

Dopesheet adds that a number of names are missing, and that while a Lieutenant-Colonel Hodgkinson, (who was present during the shooting of this film) was supposed get them, it would seem he didn't quite manage to do so. A variety of amateur colour film by Colonel Hodgkinson of this and related events, can be found at the references below. See related items.

This parade was also covered by other cameramen and photographers of the RAF (CI/ABY series) and British Army (SE/JFU series). See related items.
