Description |
English: In 1917 and 1918, the United States issued Liberty Bonds to pay for World War I, raising some $21.5 billion through patriotic appeals and rallies. Funds were still needed after the war ended. John Henry Lyons, a YMCA song leader at Camp Lewis, wrote an official song for a Victory Loan campaign, urging citizens to keep giving, with the words "We've a debt that we'll ne'er regret, Pay up for Old Red, White and Blue." The sheet music was published by Smith-Digby Co. of Seattle, and distributed by the music and piano store Sherman Clay & Company. On the back cover is a small ad with a "V" for Victory, and the motto "Victory Songs for Victory 'Sings.'" The composer, John Henry "Everybody Sing" Lyons (1885-1969) was born in Indiana, moved to Minnesota where he married Caro Josephine Rice (1885-1979). The couple resided in Tacoma from about 1915-1925, and then moved with their children to Pasadena, where John continued his career as a music director.
