Page "Benjamin Foulois" Paragraph 24

After the Armistice, November 11, 1918, Foulois served with Patrick on the Supreme War Council, drafting the air clauses of the Treaty of Versailles.

Upon his return to the U. S. in July 1919, Foulois was assigned to the Office of the Director of Air Service at Washington, D. C., in charge of the Air Service Liquidation Division, responsible for the settlement of war claims against the United States.

Just as quickly as he had been promoted to general officer rank, he was reduced along with thousands of other officers to his permanent rank of captain, Infantry, with a temporary rank of major, Air Service.
