Free Patriot
Who Donned
Army Garb

NEW ORLEANS - Roy Angus
tine, %, an American patriot of the
Korean War-we can't call his a
veteran" or "ex-GI" since he never
officially served in the armed
forces, was freed last week on a
charge of illegally wearing his
country's uniform.
The charges were dropped by
Asst. u. S. Atty. Richard c. Bald
win on promise from Augustine
that he will never unofficially wear
Uncle Sans uniform.
The excl" with one eye served
under another mans name and
papers, and fought during the first
months of the Korean war when
men were so badly needed. Angus
tine was wounded by shrapel and
machinegun fire during the bloody
fighting around Talon and Wosan,
after which he was evacuated to a
hospital in Japan.
His true identity was then learn
ed and he was returned to New
Orleans. While here, he donned the
uniform on several occasions and
tried to get through the gates of
Camp Leroy Johnson to get into
any unit going back to Korea.
Augustine said that his plans
have now been foiled in that he
wanted to return to Talon and Vo-
san both, to keep a date with the
gazooka who presented him with
the metal citations which sent nira
to the hospital in Japan.
I just want to be there said
Augustine when interviewed.
