The scene shows a section of the East and Central African contingent passing the Saluting Base before King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, and Princess Elizabeth. The date was 8th June 1946, marking a significant milestone in world history as the Allied forces celebrated their victory over the Axis powers in the Second World War. The African soldiers, dressed in their colorful uniforms, proudly march in formation, their faces reflecting a sense of pride and accomplishment.
