Rows of soldiers stand to attention outside of a large church entrance with civilians looking on.

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. AWM E05455
