i have been waiting for this the records of wwl service people. my mum's dad was in wwl and being on the other side of the pond i had no access to his records. i do know he was severly gassed and that he died in 1941. but like most military people he kept quiet about what he did and where he was.
i was in the american army and when i was stationed in germany i visited the battlefield area of wwl in france and tried to visualize him there.
i did visit my great uncle's grave site in franc, but i would love to know more aboout my grandfather.
