Summary: Scenes from a commemorative parade and wreath laying at the Cenotaph in Singapore on Armistice Day, 1945.
Description: Troops on parade. A group of senior officers make their way out to the front of the parade. The group is led by a naval officer and includes two American officers, a civilian man and a Scots soldier in a glengarry cap and kilt. A group of buglers wearing the cap badge of the Parachute Regiment. Views of the parade. The officers approach the Cenotaph and lay wreaths. A US officer and the civilian man lay a wreath together; the officer salutes and the civilian places his hat over his heart. Badly out of focus tracking footage of the parade marching, probably shot from the back of a jeep. The focus is corrected. Views of troops on parade; camera pans to the monument.
