Several months after the end of the war, a guard of honour formed of members of the Australian Graves Detachment parades outside the Amiens cathedral, 3 August 1919. At this ceremony, General Sir William Birdwood presented an Australian flag to the cathedral and gave the city a 15-inch German gun captured by the Australians at Proyart in August 1918.
