Call of Duty
Today we’ve gleaned a few more photos from the September 1946, “North Penn Photo Revue,” which showcased “The North Penn Victory Celebration” and 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 one of our photos today, local fellows just getting ready to serve are featured.
The caption noted that North Penn’s first two draftees were leaving from the Lansdale train station on Nov. 25, 1940.
From left are Davis T. Kirk, chairman of Draft Board No. 7 in Lansdale; Walter Sykes of North Wales; Edward H. Wheeler of North Wales; and Ralph R. Smith, school superintendent and member of Draft Board No. 7.
In the other photo, Donald R. Leach of Lansdale receives the Commendation Ribbon from Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz.
It’s quite obvious there were plenty of people from this area ready to step up and serve in World War II.
