Description:At the end of the First World War, when the New Zealand Rifle Brigade left the military camp on Cannock Chase, there was a farewell presentation and a parade through the streets of Stafford.

In this postcard view the Mayor of Stafford, Joseph Rushton, is pictured on the Market Square reading an address to the troops. After the ceremony the parade marched through the town to Siemens' sports field where the soldiers took part in sports events, watched by members of the public.
