Does he have a machine gun? It’s crap without a machine gun to take care of the krauts when they come over the wire.

My dad was wounded by a German machine gun at the Battle of the Argonne Forest, Sept, 1918.

He spent over a year at various hospitals in France, Belgium and finally Carlisle, Pa.

He walked with a limp all his life. His hearing was totally gone.

He received a WWI “Victory” medal, later a Purple Heart, and a $60 bonus.

I saved his dog tags, his Corporal’s whistle and my memories.
