Captured on Film

At the intersection of Sprigg and Themis streets, hundreds of Cape Girardeau Boy Scouts are shown bearing massed colors on March 10, 1942, in a big War Rally parade as a crowd estimated from 20,000 to 25,000 persons stood along the line of march. The event was sponsored by the Marine Corps League. Read more about the event in this blog by Fred Lynch: www.semissourian.com/blogs/flynch/entry/47340
