Wants Former Country To Take Him Back Again

He enlisted in 1916, served in France for three years, suffered shell shock, returned to Canada, and later moved to Seattle. Illness and inability to support his family stalled his return, and he was admitted to a veteran hospital in Portland before a halt in hospitalization funds. His case now rests with immigration authorities in Portland.
