True, WW1 and les poilus in France some of the stories of those soldiers is pretty hard In the trenches of the First World WarFor me, my Uncle served in the Pacific and my Dad in Europe, both in WW2.Father served in the Pacific, and mom was a WAC. Grandfather was a infantryman in WWI but the war ended before he got "over there".
Lucky thing for your grandpa about WW1. We have photos of my grandpa all decked out in a heavy trench coat and boots with a really long rifle and bayonet. He was lucky to survive WW1 without a scratch even though an infantryman.
