On This Day 1919: Peace Day Celebrations & Belfast Charitable Institution

On 11 August 1919 the Orderly reported that the residents of the Old People’s Home thoroughly enjoyed the Peace Day Celebrations held earlier in the week. The parade started at Victoria Barracks, behind Clifton House, and made it’s way down Clifton Street into the city centre.

Newspapers reported that 36 000 ex-service men paraded in Belfast that day!
