Welcoming Home General Devereaux

On the afternoon of October 10th, 1945 the streets of downtown Baltimore were packed with people. 50,000 had come out to cheer Baltimore native and hero of World War II, Brigadier General James Devereaux. 

Gil tells us more.

Gil Sandler was born and raised in Baltimore -- a circumstance he considers fortunate and one he does not want you to forget. He attended public school (P.S. #59, Garrison Junior High, Baltimore City College, Class of 1941) and then served in the United States Navy.
