Good story...From what I've heard many of the guys that came home from WWI came home full equipped. I remember my family living in a rented farm house out in the middle of God Knows Where near Cedar Rapids, Ohio. The only form of electrical entertainment we had was a huge radio with a central mounted dial and one of those big green eyes for fine tuning. Hanging behind the radio was a full WWI Khaki uniform right down to the boots and spats, helmet to boots, full web gear w/bayonet everything and a beautiful bolt action rifle in the corner, I got into trouble getting caught fooling around with the stuff because after all we were just renters. That place was so boring I played with a dead cat for three days...I was four or five, the nearest neighbor's lights were barely visible on the darkest of nights. Even crows were entertainment...
