Thematic treatment of the last days of the First World War and subsequent British victory celebrations.~The formal British entry into Cologne across the Hohenzollern Bridge on 12-13 December 1918. General Sir Herbert Plumber, commanding the Army of Occupation, takes the salute beneath the statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I. The British victory parade in London on 19 July 1919. The parade marches past the King's temporary pavilion set up in front of Buckingham Palace, and past the temporary wooden mock-up of the Cenotaph in Whitehall. The parade starts with the Royal Navy led by Admiral Sir David Beatty, Royal Marines, WAACs and WRNS and Sea Scouts. The Army contingent is led by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. Passing beneath Admiraly Arch, the contingent includes men of the ASC, Scottish troops, Highlanders, the massed colours of the Guards, Australians, British line regiments and Royal Artilllery limbers towing 60-pouners. The King and Queen take the salute at the pavilion as the Australians march past, followed by Canadians. American troops march past the Cenotaph, led by General John J Pershing and a mounted contingent, and followed by Belgian, Japanese, Italian naval and more Japanese troops. A pair of Medium D tanks passes very close to the camera past the King's pavilion. "Our story, in its complete form, stands as an incomparable tribute to the men and women of our Empire who, in the time of fierce national stress, made the willing offering of their lives for the preservation of the Motherland". Cuts to Episode 14. A posed group of Haig with his Army commanders (Generals Horne, Plumer, Byng, Rawlinson and Birdwood) after their final conference at Cambrai on 11 November. Field Marshall Haig greets the Prince of Wales and Prince Fushimo of Japan, at his headquarters train on 11 November, about four hours after the signing of the Armistice. Cuts back to Episode 15. The series ends with crowds around the Cenotaph. <11mn 40s>
