What a lovely remembrance of your grandfather. Both of my grandfathers served in WWI as well and I believe it was also in France. I have my paternal grandfather's discharge papers, said he was a very good horseman. And my maternal grandfather emigrated from Poland, they made him a citizen and sent him to fight in France. They both made it home, married and raised families, but unfortunately they both died well before I was born.
