My wife's grandfather was a WW1 AND WW2 vet. I know he was hit with mustard gas in WW1, yet he still re-upped when he was in his 40's to fight again in WW2. He died before age 55 leaving behind a young son (my father-in-law) and a British wife who was suddenly all alone in this strange huge country called Canada. Wish I knew more about his story.
