Introduced at the end of WWII, copy written but unpublished, the music for the Last Parade for Victory was composed by Nick Battista, an accomplished career musician and teacher, in Montreal. He served in the Canadian army from 1941 to 1945, where, among several assignments, he played with the Forage Caps entertainment troupe. He resumed his performing and teaching careers after he returned from the war. I deal for marching bands.
