Royal Papuan Constabulary contingent and their band turn into Park Street from George Street (Sydney Town Hall at top right) when leading 40,000 ex-servicemen of two World Wars through Sydney streets on Anzac Day, April 25. The contingent was led by Commissioner of Police for Papua- New Guinea, Col. J. S. Grimshaw. Inspector D. Crawley was in charge of the band. The police boys and their band also visited Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne. Needless to say they were received with great enthusiasm by Australian crowds, who turned out to see them in hundreds of thousands.
