This case is that of a navy man whose disappearance was a mystery to his
family. The first information as to his location was obtained through
the U.S. Veterans’ Bureau, Medical Division, as the result of a telegram
received from the Director Medical Services, Department of Soldiers’
Civil Re-Establishment, Ottawa, Canada, which stated that a man had been
arrested there as a vagrant; that he was apparently a mental case, and
had been in the U.S. Navy. His name was furnished and his identity
established through the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of the Navy. He
was promptly hospitalized by the Bureau through the co-operation of the
Canadian officials and returned to this country with an attendant, where
he is under treatment at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital.
