EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph captured in Washington, D. C. on June 15,1932, we witness a solemn moment of history unfolding. The image showcases a group of distinguished World War I veterans known as the Bonus Expeditionary Forces paying their respects to the late Rep. Edward E. Eslick. The scene is filled with emotion as these brave men, all recipients of the prestigious Distinguished Service Cross, gather around Rep. Eslick's casket. Just one day prior to his untimely demise, he had passionately advocated for the passage of the bonus bill that would provide much-needed financial relief to war veterans like themselves. This powerful snapshot serves as a testament to the unity and camaraderie among these soldiers who fought side by side during World War I. Their presence at this somber occasion reflects not only their deep respect for Rep. Eslick but also their unwavering commitment to fighting for justice and recognition. The monochromatic composition adds an air of timelessness and nostalgia to this historic moment frozen in time. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by these war heroes and sheds light on social issues surrounding veteran benefits during that era. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Underwood Archives courtesy of Universal Images Group (UIG), it serves as a reminder that even in death, our fallen heroes are never forgotten - they continue to inspire future generations with their bravery and dedication.
