My great uncle Charles Lewis Scott served in France in that one. Have his medal for that service. Have marched in his honor wearing that medal, WWI gear, and the Scott tartan kilt in our local Veteran's Day Parade.
He survived the war, but didn't survive the trauma. Today we call it PTSD...he turned to the only available medication for PTSD back then. Booze. He became yet another war hero who died of his alcoholism trying to drown the horrors of war.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
