My grandfather was born in 1904. He lied about his age in 1918 and joined the Army. His true age was discovered on the ship carrying him to France. He was discharged and sent back home. He saw no combat and was not allowed to set foot in France. He died in 1984.

Unlike my DH’s great uncle (by marriage), who hid under neighbor’s porch to avoid going into WWII.
