If I remember correctly, it was when WWI veterans were to receive a bonus from the US government, which was granted in the 20's. The vets were not entitled to receive the bonus until 1944 or 45. When the Great Depression struck, the vets marched on D.C. demanding their bonus immediately (I am pretty sure this was in 1932).
In this instance, the men listed under clue # 2, were the "enemy" and conquered the Bonus Army.
