This programme lists a number of events, including concerts, raffles and parades - including a parade where young ladies dressed in the garb of Britain's allies, called the "Grand Empire March." The Final Battle Campaign was one of the fundraising efforts made by New Zealanders to raise money for the soldiers wounded during WWI.
