My Galician grandfather served in the Austrian army during WW I. He delayed his marriage to my grandmother because of it. After his service, they married and moved to the US in 1920 with my mother. I don't know if he did his service as a matter of choice or whether he just wasn't a draft dodger. Many of the Jewish soldiers were treated terribly with regard to food and sanitary conditions. After coming here, he died young of stomach cancer which I attribute to his service in WW I.
