My maternal grandfather was in the Royal Air Force in England as an armaments loader for the bombers attacking Germany. His worst injury was a broken ankle as a result of a bomb rolling off a trolley onto his foot during a fight with a fellow soldier. He died at a ripe old age in Australia after migrating here after the war.
My paternal grandfather fought for the Australian Army in North Africa. He lost all of his mates when a bomb struck an anti-aircraft emplacement. Being the sole survivor haunted him for the rest of his days and he died an alcoholic in his fifties.
Their fathers, brothers, uncles and etc along with all of my grandmothers' male relatives fought in either WWII or WWI for England or Australia. There was no getting around it in those dark days - it was better to die in battle than be called a coward. Unfortunately their history is lost to me.
My father was a year too old for the Vietnam War draft in the late 1960's. His younger brother fled to Canada to dodge the draft and has lived there ever since.

[Bushpig94]

my grandfather served in WW2 as a Lt. in the Air Force/Corps (he flew planes)

other grandfather served in the 1st Calvary Division during the Korean War

[Submerge]

Paternal Grandfather - Fought on the Eastern front of Europe (primarily against the Russian army) during WWII for the German army (he was a sniper / rifleman). He did a couple behind enemy line operations for collecting intel and surveillance. Did trench warfare. He was shot in the butt, bayoneted down the nose, and suffered shrapnel blast from an anti-tank gun that led to right eye blindness). He served in a firing squad for a German soldier who was convicted of a crime. And he was captured by the US and was a POW until the war ended, I think this was when he was released from the hospital for his shrapnel injury and was returning home.

Maternal Grandfather - Served in the Navy for the United States during WWII.

My maternal Grandfather passed 10 years before I was born, but I don't think he was involved in direct conflict. He was a water tender for the ship he was on, I believe. My paternal Grandfather I got to talk to a lot about WWII, and his unique perspective that many people don't hear about (being a soldier for Germany). Many great stories and am proud of him and the courage he had in such a deadly war and what he went through.
