Two of my maternal Great Grandfathers served in the Kaisers Army. Opa Haas, a drummer, was severely wounded by artillery shrapnel in 1916. The other, Opa Karl fought through the entire war as an Infantryman but was killed in action within sight of the end on Oct 3rd 1918.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
