Demonstration of war veterans in Washington, 1932
About 20, 000 war veterans protest in Washington and march from the Washington Monument (in the background) to the Capitol. They are waiting for the decision of the Senate on the Bonus Bill'. The Senate rejected the law. The veterans of the so-called Bonus Expeditionary Force had fought in the First World War and demonstrated during the Great Depression for the payment of the so-called bonus, a special allowance allocated to the veterans for their military service
