Yep. Soldiers at Ft. Reilly, KS woke up, went to PT, showed up at BRC (Breakfast Roll call) and were dead by DRC (dinner (LUNCH) roll call) . There are primary sources and doctors/nurse notes of those days. They thought the end of the world was neigh when perfectly healthy kids age 17-22 died within a few hours.

Partner, there were 20,000,000 million folks that died from the Flu and there were at least 10,000,000 that died from WWI.

Yup, 1918 was a very deadly year.

There would have been more killed in 1918 during WWI if the U.S.A. had not gotten involved in WWI in Europe. BTW, we got involved in 1918 and WWI armistice was signed on Nov.11th, on the 11th Hour in 1918.
