thank you for posting this article. I had a great uncle gassed in WWI. He survived the war but died from the damage to his lungs in the 1920s. My grandfather, his older brother, told me about this. He was in the 42nd Infantry “Rainbow” Division.

Thanks for the ping. I was not aware of the origin of the Knights of Columbus or their service in WW-I.
