Anacostia, D.C., 1932. Lot of three (3) 10x4 inches real photographs, All historic images from this shameful past event of how we treated our Veterans who risked their lives for this country, This encampment was due to the "Bonus Act" which was awarded to veterans who served in WWI between April 5, 1917 and July 1, 1919, to be held for 20 years, similar to an insurance policy. Due to the depression in the 1930's many veterans wanted to cash their certificates early and in 1932 the "Bonus Army" marched on Washington. Eventually the encampment was broken up with the loss of 2 Lives and many hurt. Extremely rare photographs from this sad time period in our country.
