tell you "it is a most? question as to whether the bonus men themselves or the troops set fire to the dugouts". The men were instructed to stand by their billets until the troops drove them off. Literally hundreds of us saw this done–and there is no question in our minds as to who fired Camp Glassford–we are not blind. My men were not among those driven out of town + shunned? upon other communities by a proud and grateful government. –a friend gave them refuge in their back yard. I secure the old "G.I. Can" for them, + they have mounted it as they planned and are out on the road making their way across country + asking favors of no one. One of their most treasured possessions wen they went away was Major Glassfords autograph. I'm quite sure our amiable Chief of Police would not have given that to criminals + cut throats, and the men were mighty proud of it. I have spoken with dozens of these men in the various camps + they all expressed eagerness to get back to nor-normal
