9. Summary —
r
None of the foreign military attaches had ever before attended this
review. The general opinion among them however was that the parade
was well carried out and impressive. Foreign diplomats and others with
military experience were of the opinion that the turn out and march past
showed a considerable improvement on that of last year.
It was noticed that as soon as the troops had passed the saluting base
march discipline fell away badly. Many officers were permitted to fall out
as soon as regiments had got into column of route for the march back to
barracks. No attempt was made to keep the men in step or take pride in
themselves or their regiment when passing through the crowded streets.
The big feature of this parade was the march past of the girl guides,
boy scouts and student organizations. These youngsters after waiting in
a bitterly cold wind for hours without greatcoats marched past in a most
creditable manner. When it is considered that these organizations only
started two years ago the progress achieved is remarkable and speaks well
for the future.
