Owner Comments:
Rama VI presided over Siam's participation in the Great War, contributing trained pilots and medics to the allies. When there was a victory parade at Versailles, France in 1918, Siam was the only "non-white" country allowed to participate on equal footing with everyone else. Indians, Japanese, Chinese, and various Africans had been involved in the allied war effort, but none of them were allowed to march in the parade.
