Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Formality was the word at Vancouver. The King wore his air marshal's uniform when he marched with these officers to inspect a guard drawn from the 5th B.C. Coast Brigade. Later; when the royal court was sailing back to the city from Victoria; informality was the rule among Galiano Island nudists who waved from behind trees.
