Bob Scanlon was wounded during World War I while fighting in the French Foreign Legion. Dec. 15, 1918 Seattle Daily Times (Seattle, WA, USA)

At different points apparently from 1916 til the end of WWI Scanlon would periodically leave the "Western Front" and fight in Paris or the UK and then go back to his unit in the French Foreign Legion into active combat on the Front.
