Re: Veterans Bonus March of 1932



We here at the Washingtoniana Division of the DC
Public Library have the newspapers of the day and some
rather fragile BEF News (the paper of the
marchers)--which the researcher would need to contact
us (me specifically) well in advance to view. We have
a file of news and magazine clippings filed under the
heading "Bonus expeditionary force" which could be
quite useful.
Probably the National Archives would have the military
involvement.
