In 1919, my granddaddy and one of his brothers joined the army. My Pop-Pop was stationed at Camp Meade, Maryland and Uncle Clay was sent to Siberia.
Uncle Clay went back to Alabama to live after his time in the army. I went to visit him in the early '70s. He told me that my Pop-Pop was the lucky one. Uncle Clay said "This poor old South Alabama country boy about froze to death over there." Looking back, I wish that I had spent more time talking to him and got more information about his experiences over there.
