The conflict in the Far East brought together service personnel from all corners of the then British Empire, including a large contingent from the Indian Army as well as Chinese and American troops.

The parade, which took place at 11am, was spearheaded by Rev Rahman Khan and the Bromsgrove Royal British Legion who carried out Covid-19 risk assessments prior to the event.
