Suggested partial revision, Para 1, “Biography” Wikipedia entry dtd 17Aug08:

He served in the Philippines twice, from 1900 to 1903 and 1906 to 1907, during which his assignments included commanding a troop of the 1st Cavalry and serving as Aide-de-Camp to Generals J. M. Bell and J. M. Lee. In 1901 Moseley, accompanied by only one other officer, without escort and under conditions of great danger, penetrated a major insurgent stronghold and was primarily responsible for the surrender of General Arejola and his command.

Suggested partial revision to “Biography”…Para 2:

He rose to the rank of major in 1916, and in 1917 in France was promoted colonel in the National Army with command of the 5th Field Artillery. He was transferred to General Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces in France and as Assistant Chief of Staff in charge of the 4th Section (renamed G-4), soon promoted brigadier general, National Army. He had general charge of preparations for the strategic supply, transportation, construction and evacuation of the U.S. Army in France and his control of  all American regulating stations at the front enabled him to exercise  actual day-to-day control over supply and transportation.

Suggested partial revision to “Biography”….Para 3, starting with last sentence:

After commanding the Second Field Artillery Brigade, in 1921 he was detailed as assistant to General Dawes in organizing the newly-created Bureau of the Budget. In 1921 he was promoted brigadier general, Regular Army. Commanding the 1st Cavalry Division (1927-1929), he successfully interceded, under fire, with principals in a 1929 Mexican insurrection. His actions stopped stray gunfire from Juarez, Mexico endangering life and property in adjacent El Paso , Texas , and precluded further incidents. In 1931 he was promoted major general, Regular Army.

Suggested addition to “Controversies”

As General MacArthur’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Moseley played a role as yet never fully clarified at time of the 1932 Bonus March on Washington, D.C. by unemployed World War I veterans. He has been variously portrayed as faithfully relaying instructions from the Secretary of War to MacArthur, the commander at the scene, or making  little or no effort to transmit instructions. These, if followed, would have precluded the controversial and widely criticized actions taken by the U.S. Army to disperse from their encampment the veterans who were deemed to be Communist-infiltrated and a threat to law and order by the president, Moseley, MacArthur, some cabinet members, and  a number of influential Americans.

Like many officers in the 1930's, General Moseley viewed Jews as a problem and opposed their immigration as well as what was believed to be Jewish interference with American foreign policy. Bendersky, Joseph W. (2002)The Jewish Threat, Basic Books, (pp.249-258, 309, 410) < /ref>

Wikipedia may want to have some additional information from you on sources beyond the two provided at time you submit changes/additions.

You may want to cite GVHM’s bio: “One Soldier’s Journey” (unpublished) Volume 1,  in Box 13 of  the Geo. Van Horn Moseley Collection at Library of Congress.

On the Bonus March there are numerous sources. A couple that might be cited (though  I doubt Wikipedia will be concerned, given the volume of sources in existence):

D. Clayton James, The Years of MacArthur, Vol 1. Houghton-Mifflin, 1970.

Richard Norton Smith, An Uncommon Man: The Triumph of Herbert Hoover. Simon & Schuster, 1981.

Mil Hist Qtrly, Vol VIII,2, 1996,  pps 74-79 has an article entitled MacArthur & the Marchers by Geoffrey Perret. Also, I recently saw something published by AUSA’s Institute of Land Warfare that was excellent but can’t recall where I saw it.
