The New York Daily News reports the extraordinary saga of Alistair Nicholson, a Glasgow native who was hustled into the U S Army in England, subjected to a court martial, then released and now accused of desertion. He allegedly collected about 2 496 81 in back pay and benefits after being shipped home to the United States in 1946, while using the alias Fred P Bast. Nicholson says he sought to repay the government and return to Canada, fearing a cover up of Army actions in Southampton.
