Excerpt from The American Legion Weekly, Vol. 6: August 8, 1924 United States consul at Warsaw, Poland, one damp day in March. 1921. In his hand was an honorable discharge from the United States Army with about every battle in which that Army had participated in 1918 listed on the reverse side. Case wanted just one thing. That one thing was a chance to work his way to some port along America's Atlantic sea board where he could resume his former habit of eating three times daily. But the consul could not help him. It seemed cruel, but it was the only answer the consul could give. Congress had passed no appropriations to cover the return of American soldiers stranded in Europe. A square meal, a loan from one buddy to another, a let ter to the nearest con sul on the homeward trek - that was all the official in Warsaw could do.
