WW1 soldiers were a different breed. I mean, all war is horrible and devastating, but WW1 was absolutely, incredibly brutal in ways never seen before in history. Your Grandpa, if he went to Europe, saw some shit…and then came home to survive the Spanish Flu….only to have to navigate the Great Depression…. all without the ability to enjoy a drink or 2. That generation had it bad. Makes me sad to hear people complain about life today.
I get your point about how other generations had more severe conditions. It really doesn’t matter though because it is all relative to what an individual is gojng through right now. Remember when your mom told you about the starving children in Africa to get you to eat? These stories are about as equally relevant right now
He looks like a badass!
If you contact The WW1 museum in Kansas City, they may be qble to provide you with a record of his service, (sorry, I don’t have a link)

Hes aiming…..to kick some ass
He could have stopped a few bullets with a jaw that strong.
He went to Europe to chew some bubble gum and kick some ass…….
Resembles a manly version on Matt Damon.
Is he a vampire named Stefan by any chance?
Any idea where he served? Something like 70% of the WWI records were lost in a fire at the National Archives in DC.
Your Gramps looks tough as hell. Great photograph.
Looks like josh Brolin and matt Damon had a kid who got his hair cut by john cena.
