停战日——1918年11月11日
While the above photographs denote that there was an Armistice Parade on or near November 11, 1918, I believe photos to be from a later parade that honored Armistice Day. Newspapers do not mention any parades dedicated to victory in WWI until 1921 when the League of Women Voters and Women's Civic League sponsored a celebration.
