There was a great amount of scurrying-unusual for quiet Sunday morning-on that part of the Shanghai Bund fronting the Ewo foreshore last week because of the 700 S.V.C. members assembled there for the annual Church Parade. Before proceeding with the parade. 11 long service medals were awarded. In the upper picture on the right, Mr. A. D. Bell, Chairman of the Municipal Council, may be seen presenting a medal to Major E. G. Gauntlett. Corps Adjutant P. H. Calt (in the checkered cap) and Colonel N. W. B. B. Thoms are watching with interest. An idea of how the parado appeared at its start may be obtained from the upper picture on the left. The Band of the 2nd Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, led the Corps march to the Cathedral.
