Both my grandfathers went overseas and fought in WWI. One died before I was born, but had been wounded, the other I got to know. He never talked about the war. Only afterward, researching my ancestry and retrieving his war records I found he was in an artillery unit and was promoted from Private, Private First Class, Cpl to Sgt. My dad enlisted in WWII and never talked it either.
