Victory parade honors signature dead in Fifth Avenue tribute
Thousands of veterans, wounded and able bodied, march along Fifth Avenue from Washington Square to One Hundred and Tenth Street led by Major General Robert Alexander in a new New York formation. A 48 gun salute booms from Madison Square as a French howitzer fires every 20 seconds and a symbolic Liberty statue tops the caisson. The crowd cheers 5000 plus wounded men in a 1000 car procession, while Secretary Baker Roosevelt and Governor Smith look on from the reviewing stand.
