1. Subject description is based on Associated Screen News Caption Sheet, which indicates that this footage was shipped on 22 February 1946 and is silent.~2. An annotation on the caption sheet indicates that there are 189 feet, so the description may contain scenes not actually on the footage held.~3. Caption sheet says all Canadian newsreels coveredc this event, probably an indication that ASN sold the footage under contract to all the Canadian reels.
