Anthony, could he have been in the BANANA WARS in the Caribbean?
There is a book by Lester Langley that talks about those wars. It's called, "THE BANANA WARS: U.S. INTERVENTION IN THE CARIBBEAN 1898-1934"
I haven't read it yet; I am on my way to the Library to get it.
Can you or Bennie shed any light on these wars?
