717 Greek names in newspaper stories about Balkan Wars 1912-1913

I recently attended a webinar, hosted by author Peter S. Giakoumis, regarding the Balkan Wars.  I decided to go back and review his book “The Forgotten Heroes of the Balkan Wars:  Greek-Americans and Philhellenes 1912-1913”, (available at most online bookstores).  

This book contains hundreds of American newspaper articles about the Balkan Wars, published by big city and small-town newspapers.  I realized that many of these articles contained names and stories about Greek immigrants who were returning to Greece to fight in the war, and those men who returned to the U.S. after the war.
