Some images from the first 1916 military parade the first since 1969. While as a once off it's OK I don't think I'd want to see it every year. I saw the Bastille Day parade in Paris the year before last and it was truly a bizarre militaristic affair tied into a colonial past, not really something we want to emulate here. Interestingly while we all know that we have a numerically small army it appears from the evidence of todays parade that the army is also, well, small. At 6'1" I felt like a giant.
