While there, he registered at the American Embassy and returned to Paris. A physical exam designated him for Red Cross work, and he was assigned to work in a warehouse in Paris. He sorted and piled boxes of supplies constantly arriving from America until he became Ill. Due to his illness, his commanding officer asked him what else he could do besides move boxes
