We were still using 'sneeze sheets' when I was in Army AIT in 1968.
ReplyDeleteNice Presidio image.
ReplyDeleteOne added thing we may consider here is that California's border with Mexico was patrolled throughout the entire war as part of the ongoing concern about the violence in Mexico that made up the Mexican Revolution. That had started at least as early as 1915 and would continue on at least as late as 1919. We don't think of that as part of World War One, of course, but if a person was in uniform in 1917 through 1918 that might not be quite as clear, and it was part of our overall military picture at the time.
