| | Howard Fast's "An Epitaph for Sidney" |
 | | Sidney's mother, who was like a shadow moving here and there, cooking and cleaning, but always like a shadow, gave to the children and never asked anything in return, not even love, until she died in 1932. |
 | | Sidney didn't tell her, in that letter, that when Smith and Goldstein were wounded, he had cared for them, nursed them and sometimes carried them, that he bore them both across the Ebro. |
 | | Sidney's name was brought up for the Congressional Medal of Honor, but that was a big-time operation, and they went into his past, and the matter was dropped. |
