Somebody must have made a fortune on that insurance scam.

Isn’t it a universal fact that there are no insurance policies that pay off for acts of war?

I believe that’s why most of the post WWII British Colonial fracases were called “Emergencies.” Palestine Emergency, Malayan Emergency, Mau-Mau Emergency, etc.

My Great Uncle was wounded two hours before the Armistice, Newfoundland Regiment, he though it sucked, three years and not a scratch, was still upset about it 50 years later.

My grandfather, William Howard Mackirdy, was a Coast Artillery officer, and shipped to France with the American Expeditionary Force. I don’t know what unit he was with, but i would sure like to pursue this further!

I’m confused. “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori” means “Beautiful and Honorable it is to die for ones fatherland.”
