Soldier McGee’s Two-Year Jail Term Reduced by War Dept Action
Army Private Joseph V. McGee of Worcester Massachusetts had his two year hard labor sentence and dishonorable discharge canceled and was restored to active duty by order of Acting Secretary of War Robert Patterson. The case followed congressional criticism led by Massachusetts representative McCormack over alleged assaults on nine German prisoners of war in France. McGee arrived at Fort Harrison Indiana May 12 after a Le Mans court martial convicted him Oct 17 last year and sentenced him to two years. The War Dept deemed the sentence excessive and reduced it to time served with restitution and restoration to duty as of that date.
