View Full Description - After the fighting in World War I ended, Edward
Bayon, formerly a staff sergeant with the Army, married a French girl
and decided to stay in France when he signed on with the American
Graves Registration service. In April 1923, he was charged with taking
a barge laden with the caskets of 952 American soldiers through the
canals of France, Holland and Belgium, on their way back home.
Bayon recorded his memory of this singular event in the one document
in his collection. He was not prepared for the remarkable reception
that the Belgians provided him on his mission.
