My grandfather got wounded by gas on October 28th. But my other grandfather was in the 55th.

My maternal grandfather was assigned to AEF HQ (I think) served in late 1917 or early 1918. He blew out his knee (or was otherwise injured, and returned home in 1919.) I don’t have his service records and he died when I was very young.

My grandfather was wounded by gas too. It scarred his lungs and made him bald at age 25.
