British and Canadian troops en- tered the western outskirts of the Capital, reached yesterday by Am- erican occupation p.m. (0.30 a.m. E.D.T.) (10.30 am. A.D.T.>, Behind the Hussars was the lat Battalion, Grenadier Guards. a composite Canadian battalion and other troops.

Included in the Canadian for- mation were men of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Hamil- ton, Ont.; Les Fusiliers Mont-Roy- al. Montreal. the Loyal Edmonton Regiment and a Provost Corps de- tachment.

As hundreds of vehicles stream- ed by, Lt-Gen. LO. Lyne. com- manding Field Marshal Montgome- ry's “Desert Rats," took the salute. With him at the saluting base, which was draped with the Union Jack, were Brig. Colin Ravenhlll, com- mzmdimz the Berlin area. and Brig. J.K. Spurling, commanding the fighting units taking art in thi- occupation. "Desert Rats" flag flew proudly with the Unlcn Jack.

Because of accommodation dif- ficulties, the parade was held in the most western suburbs of the city, some five miles west of the Brand- enburg Gate, the easternmost boundary of the British occupation zone.

Only a few thousand Bcr- liners saw the Britons and Can- adians go by and it was an unsmiling and non-cheering crowd of Germans who watched their conquerors.
