    Nearly ended him too. He got shot in the neck, but survived. When he was discharged from the hospital, he intended to head back to the front, but he received word from his wife that the Communists had turned on the Anarchists and Trotskyist, and were rounding people up to be executed. He and his wife narrowly escaped the country with their lives.
