My grandfather (the one who immigrated to the USA in 1907 at 17 years of
age) enlisted in the US Army when the USA entered the war. Don't know
what he did but I think I recall him telling me he was in the infantry.

He didn't become a naturalized US citizen until after the war in 1919.

I haven't found any WWI veterans in my extended family. They were all
either too old or too young. My grandfather might have been drafted if
it went on another year.
