Saw this on the French forum but if you skip down there is English text. Interesting quick read!

Cheers....J

JMACK, thanks for posting - like you, I noticed this on the French forum but didn't bother to take a look as I don't speak French.
Interesting material and I'm glad I had a chance to read through it. Thanks again.

Very interesting. This is how the great US of A treated one veteran of that squadron.

Hello Gentlemen,
Thanks for reposting the article here. I will probably do it also now since they will all be translated.
I've got to find a way to have an easy English version available.

Driving Rain, Eugene Bullard was undeniably the victim of the segregation rules of the US Army. His participation in the war up to february 1918 proves how ridiculous it was. Hard to believe this today.
