Duke and Duchess of York on Anzac Day
The Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth) in Melbourne, Australia, on Anzac Day. This tour, which lasted six months, was the couple's first major official duty overseas and was regarded as a great success. On Anzac Day Sir John Monash (1865-1931) led the procession of wreath-laying ex-servicemen of the First World War. A total of 26, 000 ex-soldiers marched past the Duke and Duchess.
