Memory-lost veterans haunt Washington bureau cases
Three unidentified living ex servicemen with war injuries suffer memory loss and cannot locate relatives. One, Hayward Thompson, recalls January 22, 1922 and Denver but not his identity. another wanders Los Angeles with only a rough age and height. a Louisville man named Leonard Wells recalls France service but not his name. The American Legion aids in tracing relatives while insurers offer no relief until identities are fixed.
