We see a mayor and soldiers in uniform outside a church and various shots of a parade through Wednesbury featuring members of the armed forces, St John's Ambulance Brigade, Red Cross, scouts and guides and a horse-drawn fire engine. A mayor makes a speech and a large crowd looks on (some holding Union flags).
