My great grandpa was born in Norway in 1889 and fought in Luxembourg in WW1. I could be making that last part up lol but he was somewhere over there in WW1 ;) I have a pic in his doughboy uni in my front hallway. He died 2 days before we beat the Russians in 1980. He would loved that. Big time hockey fan.
The United States declared war on the German Empire on April 6, 1917, nearly three years after World War I started. A ceasefire and Armistice was declared on November 11, 1918.Before entering the war, the U.S. had remained neutral, though it had been an important supplier to the United Kingdom, France, and the other powers of the Allies of World War I.
Hmm, interesting. Didn’t know that. That’s the year my Great Grandfather was born in Luxembourg

Grandpa only saw one battle. I was only 16 when he died and the info I have came from his daughter (my grandma) and my mom.
My Great Uncle served and died in WWI. I think he was about 20yrs old
My Great Grandfather and my (horrible monster Grandfather (his son) died wayy before I was born so I never got to meet either
