DescriptionView from above of a street in South Manchester during a parade celebrating the return of soldiers from World War I. Crowds of people line both sides of the street. Men in uniform march down the middle of the street, toward the right side of the image. There is a large, three story building on the far side of the street that has signs saying "Packard's Pharmacy," and above it, "Connecticut Business College." It is decorated with bunting and American flags. People lean out of the windows of the building to watch the parade below.
