What were the casualties of the bonus marchers?

The Bonus March, which took place in 1932, involved thousands of World War I veterans who marched to Washington, D.C., to demand early payment of bonuses promised to them. During the protest, violence erupted in July when police clashed with marchers, resulting in the deaths of two veterans. Additionally, many were injured, and the U.S. Army, led by General Douglas MacArthur, forcibly removed the marchers, leading to further chaos and hardship for those involved. Overall, the event highlighted the desperation of many Americans during the Great Depression.
