NTO YORK. Jan. 14 —A Yankee
hem of the fighting Free French
Army, Lt. Jack Hasey, the only
American holding a commission
under Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
haa returned home, tired, badly!
wounded, glad to be back, but eager
to fight again either for Free France
or for his own United States.
The 25 - year - old Bridgewater
fMass.» soldier was met by his
parents. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hasey.
yesterday as he arrived at La i
Guardia Field by airplane from
Miami, wearing the blue uniform of
the Free French and green-and-black
ribbon of the First Older of Lib
eration—the highest decoration for ,
bravery awarded by Gen. De Gaulle
Livid scars on the right side of
hi* face bespoke the nature of his
wounds, even before the slight,
aandy-haired soldier coutd be in
duced to tell in his hoarse whisper
about some of the things that have
happened to him.
Wounded at Damascus.
At Damascus on June 21. he said,
hi* right iaw and his larynx were .
•hattered by machine-gun bullets.
A* a result his voice comes now
through a steel tube inserted in
his neck just underneath his chin, j
Long before the Damascus battle.
Lt. Hasey was a war casualty. In
March. i940. while he headed an
ambulance unit on the Finnish front
near Lake Ladoga bomb splinters
•hattered his right forearm.
Then, while he was crossing the
African desert en route to America
to have his facial injuries treated
by plastic surgeons in Boston, his
plane was forced down and he and
his companions narrowly escaped
Injury.
Praises Oe Gaulle's Courage.
As to those ribbons for valor j
which adorned his uniform. Lt.
Hasey had nothing to say. Rather. !
ha was inclined to talk only of the
courage and bravpry of Gen. De
Gaulle and of the Free French sol
diers whom, he said, were virtually
fanatic in their loyalty to him.
Lt. Hasey first went abroad in
1937. In 1939 he tried to enlist in
the French Army, but was turned
down because of his American citi
zenship. Later, however, he went |
to Finland as the captain of a
French ambulance corps and then.
After spending some time on hospi
tal leave in the United States, he
returned to France.
He escaped Nazis who would have
Interned him after the fall of
France, made his way to Spain and
Portugal and then to England where
he joined Gen. De Gaulle's forces.
