Comment from BethShelby
It is amazing what you might find out when you go digging into the past. I'm sure it was exciting to find out something about a family member you didn't know about and to see the same given name as your father had.

Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for sharing about your great uncle. I liked that you mention the few infractions of uniform and absence from the base (oh, and being drunk!) but that all paints a picture of a very young man who was facing an unusual time in history and probably really shocked in his first experience away from home. Best wishes in the contest!

So this was based on a real story? This is amazing! It's funny how history keeps finding its way back to the surface. Especially after a hundred years.

Yes it is true. I found #1966 by accident and NFLD keeps excellent records.

Thank you Bill for the comments and review. What was interesting was not knowing that he existed at all until a couple of years ago. Not too much was known about that side of the family.
Comment from Sanku
This is very touching .A person's identity is just 1966 -a number that denotes he was just one of many .How did you discover this grave? I am glad that though a bit late somebody remembered to visit his grave .This should win the contest.

There was a NFL's website that did a bio of each soldier .
Thank you for your review.
Comment from dmt1967
This is a wonderful bit of history and it is a great story and very well written. Family history is the best, I think. I like reading about actual people from their families as it gives the story heart, in my opinion. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing. Stay safe.

This is a very factual account of the first world war, shorn of all the pain and gore of the battles and death - the toll of which was enormous. What comes across most clearly is the feeling of incompletion, the not knowing. Not knowing who, where, or why.
