Yes, Grandpa served in the Imperial Army as an officer...immigrated after the war.

West Prussia is in Red and East Prussia is the blue province to the East...
Prussia's center was Brandenberg....

what was his rank?
what front was he mostly on?
any famous conflicts he was invovled in?
any injuries, any medals, did you have any cool artifacts?

He died when I was about eight years old. I knew very little and didn't ask about much; I didn't know he fought in the war until I was a teenager. It seems the family didn't want to advertise their connection. Apparently my relatives sold off everything after his death, as a historian I'm pissed; I would have really appreciated his service sidearm, a Luger I'm told. Based on what I've gathered from stories he was a low level officer and served in the East before being moved to the West, no surprise. Let's just say my family wasn't good at documenting anything. grrrr....

My mother's father was a doughboy and we still have the .45 colt revolver the family shipped to him at his request.

well, it's no surprize that he was quiet about his service.
proly not something you talk about when you migrate to the country you fought against lol
and i bet with a little work on your part (travel to germany) you could get more info about him...man that would be fun. when you retire that should be a project of yours.
that'd be fucking badass to have his military dress uniform w/a full rack of medals.
trench warfare in the bitter eastern cold would suck majorly, i'd take the swamps of flanders anyday

He modified our family name to make it sound English. Trust me, I've wanted to dig into the records but I have to pay the bills. I would give my left nut for his service sidearm and I would never sell it, talk about an heirloom. As I was told, "Prussians do their duty."

I can't imagine the difficulty of fighting a 20th century war with 19th century logistics.
