Two of my greatgrandfathers were in the AEF. One was an artillery truck driver and the other was a machinegunner. So I'd love to do American, but I already do Württemberg. :c

Nice, over the break I discovered two family members served in AEF too. I need to research their place on the family tree.

I may just put together a uniform for my greatgrandpa that was the machinegunner and started out in the 3rd Arkansas National Guard until it was made into some unit I constantly have to research to remember.

Stop discovering all those family member who did shit, damned. Mine just are mid-class folks throughout the entire 19th and the first half of the 20th century.

Well, my family during WWII didn't do anything crazy. My grandpa was an air traffic controller at the Chico airport in CA, my grandma traced blueprints of the P-38 Lightning for Lockheed, and one of my granduncles was on a cruiser in the pacific near the end of the war - so he saw kamikaze attacks and whatnot, but those were always aimed at carriers.

My family just had a shit-time. Cos war is shit. Especially if you happen to find yourself in a colony that gets 'freed' by the Japanese. Not something that's up for re-enactment, really  :P

We're getting off-topic again. Maybe another thread for this? I think it's pretty interesting.
