I just got done going over to my grandma's house and we brought up family history and she mentioned that her father served in World War One in France in 1918. She mentioned he was an excellent shot and a he was gassed during the war. Not much is known else though about his time in the army during the war. It sounds clichéd kind of but that's the best description of him she gave to me.

great grandfather was a german jew who fought for the kaiser on the western front I think. i think he got shrapnel in his leg so he had a slight limp and i think he'd get bouts of pain in the area for the rest of his life. he was a cattle dealer and so he fled to the US (he had rich cousins or brothers there to vouch for him despite he himself being pretty poor) after the nazis started persecuting jewish cattle dealers in 1938.
