Seven Waterloo men die of WWI risk insurance lapse
Mrs. George B. Worthen of the Red Cross Home Service says seven Waterloo World War I veterans have died since January 1, 1926 without government life insurance for their families. Reinstatement is possible by paying one month’s premium and a medical exam, but the final deadline is July 2, 1926, when term policies must convert to one of six government plans. The piece argues this insurance has kept families intact and urges veterans to act, noting many widows rely on the benefit. It cites Napoléon Bonapartist claimant Victor Napoléon’s stroke in Brussels as an aside and mentions French Belgian grave rates in London.
