Description
One annotated photograph of a large crowd gathered at Queen's Athletic Field on Victory in Europe Day. Approximately 10,000 attended the commemorative service which began at 4pm but, due to high winds, only a little over 4,000 people were still present when it ended. The 8th Victory Loan Drive Parade with the slogan "Invest in the Best" followed the service.
