***note to editors Caption hard to read for the Lord Mayors name. Its a short work, though wikipedia suggest Leonard Bramwell Cox and William Philip Jackson were Lord Mayors of Manchester 1943 and 1944 - however the caption suggest a short 4 letter name. So, approach with caution.***

A Historic Parade in Lancashire - Major General Campbell and the Lord Mayor of Manchester Lead the Salute
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous parade that took place on January 29th, 1944, during the height of World War Two. The location is Princess Street, Albert Square in Manchester, right in front of the iconic Northern Assurance Building. In this remarkable image, Major General Campbell stands tall alongside the distinguished Lord Mayor of Manchester as they take the salute from an array of Lancashire Regiments. These brave soldiers were none other than the renowned 1st South Lancashires and The East Lancashires - both instrumental forces during this global conflict. While historical records suggest that Leonard Bramwell Cox and William Philip Jackson served as Lord Mayors during this period, deciphering their names from this faded caption proves challenging. However, it does not diminish the significance of their presence at such a crucial event. The photograph itself exudes a sense of pride and unity amidst wartime adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder of how communities across Lancashire rallied together to support their troops on the home front. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints for future generations to appreciate, this snapshot transports us back to an era defined by sacrifice and resilience. As we gaze upon these gallant men marching through history's pages, let us honor their memory with gratitude for their service and dedication to our nation's cause.
