This is a very embarrassing question for me to ask...it shows my lack of
education (I guess I could blame the public school system) or it shows my
young age, BUT, when the U.S. was in WW I, how extensive was the volunteer
or draft?  In other words, was it common or uncommon for our young men of
draft age to have participated in WW I?  I know that the war was fought from
1914-1918, so I assumed that my grandfather born in 1890 would have been in
the war, but he wasn't and I don't know why.  Is that unusual?
