    Why so many uniformed men in that crowd? What kind of occasion was that?
  • Retired at last said:
    @Aldis Putelis. That will be the crowd celebrating the Armistice at the end of WW1, almost all able bodied men were in the services, and therefore in uniform.
  • Iain said:
    It doesn't appear to be Armistice celebrations. The crowd is standing quietly (and still) behind police lines and everyone's looking into Trafalgar Square. Waiting for someone or for something to happen? Interesting to see the press of people on the wall at Charing Cross Station in the background. They seem much keener to see whatever's going on than the people standing on the Strand.

    Likely at the visit of President Wilson. ""President Wilson's journey was a triumphal procession from the moment he landed," says the Mail, "and it was real sincere affection and no mere curiosity that brought to his ears the acclamation of the people of London. There have been more excited crowds here, but never crowds that so impressively expressed their warmhearted hospitality."" The Barre daily times., December 27, 1918, Image 1, col. 2 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn91066782/1918-12-27/ed-...

    The police officers would be attached to Cannon Row Police Station (Alpha Delta). Search above for 'Cannon Row Police Station' for more information about this famous Central London police station. Or here: www.flickr.com/groups/884772@N20/

    [Aside] I never knew this: "The column also had a symbolic importance to Adolf Hitler. If Hitler's plan to invade Britain, Operation Sea Lion, had been successful, he planned to move it to Berlin." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson%27s_Column
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From Trove: A large Irish demonstration in Trafalgar-square demanded the release of 180 Irish prisoners who ara still in gaol, on the ground that their retention was at variance with the spirit of the Irish agreement. Article from The Advocate, Melbourne, 16 Feb 1922, in a longer article about Irish News. Doesn't give the date of the protest.
