The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 13


Book Description

Excerpt from The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 13: December, 1932 Four months have passed since I first awakened to find myself in Walter Reed Hospital. Three months I spent in bed. I talked with Lieutenant Colonel S. U. Marietta, chief of the medical service, and Major James R. Hudnell, ward surgeon, and learned from them of the many innovations and improvements which the government veterans' hospitals have devised. Moreover, the excellence of Walter Reed Hospital was apparent - the medical staff, the nursing staff, the enlisted men of the hospital corps. As I was able to move about, I observed the high character of the equipment. Nothing lacking in laboratories, perfection in x-ray equipment, the electrocardiograph, other scientific apparatus, the physiotherapy department. Thorough dental work. Nursing care that leaves me grateful beyond expression; -4hospital corps enlisted men, finest in my experience.

Book Description

Excerpt from The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 13: September, 1932 I4shortage probably would have come out of his pay. But with so large a sum, involving no implication of wrong doing, it would merely be a matter of petitioning Con gress for relief. But I saw at once that Major Pershing was not the type of officer to take this way out. Either the property for which he was charged was in existence somewhere, or it had been expended during the campaign. Pershing meant to find it, or to find out how it had been expended. A quick comparison of my Abstract M with the list of Pershing's shortages disclosed a striking similarity. Obviously the property for which the major had been called to account was still with the regiment. We went to work at once and along toward evening Pershing re marked that he had come straight to me without locating quarters for himself. I offered to share mine with him. They were not much to offer. Despite all that a little wood-burning stove could do my tent was cold, and it was rather crowded, but Pershing said he would stay with me and another cot was squeezed. In. I was under no delusion as to the reason for Pershing's decision. He had friends among the other officers of the regiment, and I was a stranger, but he chose to keep as close to his work as possible.

Book Description

Excerpt from The American Legion Monthly, Vol. 16: February, 1934 Most of them have never been on board a naval vessel of the fighting arm. Their only long cruise has been on an army transport, their closest View of the Navy a convoy keeping the U-boats off in the submarine danger zone. To have been in the A. E. F. Is not enough to qualify them as naval experts. They must have suffered a greater agony than seasickness on their return trip. Some of them may be bed-ridden for life, staring at the white wall of a hospital while well buddies are driving their cars past apple and cherry orchards in bloom or hills glorious in autumn coloring.

R. Keefer, U. S. A., of Washington, a member of Caduceus Post: Apropos your mention of Poe's military record, it may be of interest to note that Poe wrote a poem while he was at West Point. It referred to a certain tactical officer (in charge of drills and general conduct of cadets) and was as follows: John Locke is a very great name, Joe Locke is a greater, in short; The former is well-known to fame, The latter well known to report.
