As promised a few weeks ago, we are revisiting some items from the “North Penn Photo Revue,” which was published in September 1946 and showcased “The North Penn Victory Celebration” after World War II.
What better time than Memorial Day to highlight items from this booklet, which was produced to honor the area’s service men and women who had served in World War II.

It was published by Charles J. Maguire of the North Penn News in Lansdale.

In the photo featured today, you see the V-J Day Parade in Lansdale.


The information in the book notes that Eugene V. Hartley of Lansdale, commander of the VFW in Lansdale, is leading off the parade, followed by the color guard from Lansdale High School.

The other feature today speaks for itself. This was a full-page salute to area war heroes who made the supreme sacrifice and was sponsored by the Lansdale VFW.

We plan to occasionally feature photos from The Revue in coming weeks and months.
