Loyals March Out of Shanghai

The Second Battalion, The Loyal Regiment, bade Shanghai farewell yesterday after a lengthy stay in the city.

They greeted the incoming battalion, the First Battalion, The Seaforth Highlanders, at the Race Course, and then marched down to Hunt's Wharf, headed by their own band and that of the Fourth Marines.

Above, Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, H.M. Ambassador to China, is seen taking the salute at the gates of H.M. Consulate, and below the Loyals swing past the sandbag post on the south side of the Garden Bridge.
