Sergeant Colvin, wounded veteran from Jeffersonville, leads a direct push to mobilize the town for the final Liberty Loan, confronting the complacent crowd at the bank and aiming to end their stalling and indifference. The hometown mobilization follows months of fatigue with war coverage and rising prices.
Sergeant Colvin rallies Jeffersonville residents to back the Victory Liberty Loan. He recalls fallen soldiers and urges townsfolk to subscribe, canvassing door to door, culminating in an Opera House meeting that spurs full participation and a strong loan response.
Records of Our Heroes In France inspire Liberty Loan drives by praising Corp. John Villepique of South Carolina who braved machine gun fire on October 15, 1918 at Vaux-Andigny. He killed four Hungarians, captured six, and after severe wounds rejoined his company. Also cited is First Lieut. Samuel Woodfill’s Canuel action on October 12, 1918, where he led an advance, killed four enemies, captured three, and pursued a fleeing officer after a hand to hand struggle. His unit pressed the attack despite heavy fire.
