Both World Wars were partially financed with War Bonds. Each bond drive came with an intense advertising campaign. The third WWII bond drive was on during September 1943 when this ad ran in the Harvard Courier issue of September 30th.
The newspaper made their point with a list of the Clay County soldiers and sailors on active duty somewhere in the world doing their part - shouldn't the back-home citizens pitch in too?
The list of soldiers is below the full page image. This list misses those entering active duty after September 1943 and a few who had fallen by 1943. Let's identify the county's casualties at the end of this post.
Our Sutton Museum blog is necessarily skewed toward Sutton. We have this list of men from Sutton who died in WWII. Help us complete this list.
At least two Sutton men on this list did not make it home: Paul Hofmann and Leonard Hansen. Our working list of Sutton WWII casualties is:
