- Description
Pershing's Crusaders is divided into two parts. The first part of the film gives an introduction to a town with houses, bridges, and factories built by Uncle Sam's intentions. Ships leave the shore with goods in them mostly carrying military equipment like cannons and 14inch shelling which are destined to strike a blow for freedom. In the factories workers are building cannon parts which are then transported on train carts. In part two of ‘Pershing’s Crusaders’ the world conflict takes upon itself the nature of a crusade. The crusaders were the efforts of a new world striving after a better ideal than that of a piracy and fraternal bloodshed. The film reflects on details about World War I which shows us a detail description of how the allies are fighting against the enemies.
