The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/First Czech soldiers from US in Europe

FIRST CZECH SOLDIERS FROM U. S. IN EUROPE

 

In, the May issue of the Bohemian Review a picture was shown of Bohemian volunteers in the Canadian army; majority of them were from the United States. They landed in England in the latter part of May and took part in an enormous manifestation in honor of the United States held at the Hyde Park in London, May 27. Our boys carried a sign inscribed “Czech Colunteers from U. S. A.” and received a boisterous welcome. When the procession passed the French Embassy, in front of which were grouped ministers of the Allied Powers, the Bohemian soldiers were ordered to step out of the ranks and two of them were introduced to Ambassador Page, who expressed his pleasure at their arrival in Europe.
