EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the intensity of the clash between the United States military and the Bonus Army, a group of World War I veterans, on July 28, 1932. The Bonus Army had set up a camp in Washington D.C. to demand early payment of their bonuses, which were due to be paid to them in 1945. The government, under President Hoover, refused to grant their demand, leading to increasing tensions. On this fateful day, police advanced upon the camp to disperse the veterans, resulting in violent confrontations. The photograph shows veterans flinging stones and bricks at the advancing police line, with the chaos and destruction of the camp in the background. The shacks and shanties that once provided temporary shelter for the veterans are now engulfed in smoke and flames. The Bonus Army protest was a significant moment in American history, highlighting the economic hardships faced by veterans during the Great Depression and the government's response to their demands. The image serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by veterans and the complexities of political and social issues during this period. Despite the violence and turmoil, the Bonus Army's efforts led to the passage of the Bonus Bill in 1936, which provided for the early payment of bonuses to eligible veterans. This photograph is a poignant and important piece of American history, capturing a moment of conflict and determination that continues to resonate today.
