![["In 1919, the writer traveled to Europe with a delegation of Congressmen to observe the aftermath of World War I. They visited Brest and St Nazairre in France, witnessing celebrations of peace being signed. They saw the reconstruction efforts by American engineers, including the building of docks and warehouses. The delegation also learned about the challenges faced by the Army, such as the issue of colored soldiers marrying French women. They traveled on a special train to Bordeaux and saw American soldiers receiving training before deployment."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20V.%20McClintic%20Collection,%201910-1947/Speeches,%201910-1947-CAC_CC_034_9.1_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_034_9.1_3_1_0000%20-%20WritingSpeech,%20Post-WWI%20Europe,%201919/thumbnails/CAC_CC_034_9.1_3_1_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Reflections on the World's War: A Congressman's Journey in 1919")
