Wicker, jr., of Richmond, Vs national travel director for the France convention. . It will now be possible for fathers accompany their sons back to France and visit with them the scenes of the war, and those fathers whose sons never came back, the thousands of fathers of the men who now lie forever in the soil of France, will be able to visit the graves of their boys as a part of the greatest commemora- tive pilgrimage the world has ever known, Mr. Elder said. The inclusion of the fathers makes it possible for a voteran to take his - entire family to France with him as members of the regular Legion tour, since wives and mothers are eligibla to membership in the trip by virtue of their membership in the -Americ T. n Auvxiliar i estimated that several theusand fathers of veterans will be included in the total of 30.000 who go to France next vear for the Legion gathering.
