Yugoslav passengers in Italy

American officers who met the evac planes when they returned to Italy chat with the two Yugoslav passengers: The man with the cane is a Yugoslav Colonel, a veteran airman of the first world war, and going rapidly blind because of an eye disease. The man with the beard is a Yugoslav Major and completely blind, result of shrapnel in a battle with Germans. Gen. Mihailovitch asked that they both be evacuated and treated.
