Browns didn’t do shit in WWI.

>>18068729

>>18068733
Any proof to back up your claim of these supposedly millions of browns who fought in WWI? Have fun screeching Jewish bullshit at the hole your penis used to be.

>>18068735
The Germans called the Belgians Chocolate soldiers. This was a reference to them being black and cute

>>18068751
No. Just no.

>>18068735
Depends on your definition of brown, but offhand there’s Turks and Arabs in the middle eastern theater, troops from French and British colonies, black Americans like the Harlem Hellfighters, and blacks in the East African theater. Don’t know if that adds up to millions but they were there.
I had one great uncle with the AEF die in France and others who went over there but didn’t see much action.

Lot more than that. I'm don't think you actual grasp the World part in WW1/2

My great-granddad fought in WW1 for America against Germany a bit. He was from Pennsylvania.

My great grandfather did fight in WW2.
He was bullied by other soldiers and pushed off a ledge in France. He got a purple heart.
That sums my family experience in WW2. More experience in other wars.

>>18068710 (OP)
My great grandpa fought in WWII but I don't know the details cus the building they kept all the records in caught on fire in the 70's. All I know is that he served 2 years and was in Europe.

>>18068766
Looks pretty brown to me

My grandfather was a navy Lt. Commander during WWII. He died of lung cancer in his 30s. I wonder how he feels that one of his grandkids is a sexually depraved 4chan addict. Out of the batch of grandkids, there's also a methhead, a banker, a pastor's wife, a university director, a senior media advisor, and a music theory professor. 5/7 not bad I guess.

My great grandfather fought in WW2 against the japs :^)

My grandfather was awarded the Silver Star during the siege of St. Malo, would be awarded the Purple Heart a few weeks later after being grazed by a bullet on his ear. Later got a 2nd PH from shrapnel in the Hurtgen forest

>>18068710 (OP)
My grandfather fought in ww2 had a great time. Got an italy medal just for competing in inter forces athletics games
My great grandfather got shot in the head in ww1 and barely survived

>>18068717
Please kill yourself.

My great grandfather was drafted and trained right before the war ended so he didn’t have to go get blown up in a ditch because of a couple bickering cousins.

>>18068835
The “world part” is a meme, it was only a European war. Maybe some minor skirmishes on the edges of Europe(it’s colonies)

>>18068717
My German great-grandfather fought in WWI.
t. brown man

>>18069821
Because you are mixed “. If you were “pure brown” (oxymoron) he wouldn’t have.

>>18068710 (OP)

One of my great-grandfathers was on Eisenhower's staff at SHAEF and helped plan D-Day (specifically knocking out German coastal defenses because he had previously served in the Coast Artillery Corps).

My grandfather was part of the occupation of Japan and when I was a kid he told me not to trust the Japs.

WWII, Pacific theater, served on boarding ships (LSTs/Landing Ship Tank), got 6 battle stars.

>>18068710 (OP)
posting as per spec. he even died in the war (autumn 1914, serbian front). now what?

Great grandfather on my mom's side was attached to some kind of independent mobile medical battalion in WWII. He and his guys were rushed around to pretty much every major engagement in the West in 44-45.

He told a story about finding a pile of ~200 dead Germans in Normandy. The Germans had been preparing a mass burial for their dead, but had to retreat.

>>18068751
Lol

My Scandinavian born great-grandfather was in the cavalry in France.

I would imagine it is this unit though I am uncertain

>World War I
edit
When the United States entered World War I, the regiment sailed for France as one of the four mounted regiments on duty with the Allied Expeditionary Force. The fighting had bogged down into trench warfare and the role of horse cavalry was nearly over. The 15th subsequently dismounted and relieved exhausted infantry units in the trenches. It was the tank that finally broke the trench lines to end both the war and signal the twilight of the horse soldier. The 15th served occupation duty after the war, and arrived at the port of New York on 19 June 1919 on the USS Panaman. It was transferred the same day to Camp Mills, New York, where emergency period personnel were discharged from the service.

Haarlem Hellfighters were WW2. There were a few blacks in the British and French armies, and some black Americans in the Lafayette Escadrille.

>>18068710 (OP)
Here is a pic of my grandfather who served as a cavalryman from his wedding photo in the 20s. His unit was stranded behind enemy lines in Germany without provisions so they had to eat some of their own horses. Beyond that what he did in the war I have no idea.

Where I'm from, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone whose family DOESN'T have a connection to the war.

Great-grandpas from both side of my family fought in Winter War/Continuation War for Finland. Not a single male family member in my entire family tree died in the war, one did end up as a POW in Soviet Union but made it back home.

>Haarlem Hellfighters were WW2.
No, the 369th New York regiment was in WWI and their regimental band introduced jazz to Europe, with a bandleader ironically named James Reese Europe. This song isn’t especially jazzy but gives a good description of trench warfare.

My great-papaw was too busy making moonshine in the Appalachian mountains to participate in this stupid ass war.

Great-grandfather got kneecapped by a German machine gun at vimy ridge, 1917

So apparently my Great Great grandpa may have been in WW1 to some degree but we dont really know what. He was from Slovakia and at the time that was controlled by Hungary. I tried contacting the Hungarian archives but unfortunately all of those records were destroyed in the subsequent WWII so all we have is this photograph:
