Colflesh Named Iowa Legion Commander for 1932
Robert W. Colflesh of Des Moines was unanimously elected Commander of the Iowa American Legion for 1932 at the Davenport convention. A World War I veteran who lost a leg at Chateau Thierry, he later served as Des Moines attorney and led Argonne Post as Commander in 1928. The parade drew about 20 000 spectators as 40 drum and bugle corps from Iowa and neighboring states competed for the 1931 championship, with Gowrie taking first and a $200 prize.
