Both my grandfathers and also my grand uncle (father side) served in both world wars (French army).

My other grand uncle father side, served in WWII, I know he was in Belgium area, and he was captured.

Both grand fathers were in the artillery (because they had studied engineering), and I don't know about my grand uncle. I know they were all taken prisoners during WWII.

At least one of them (my grandfather father side) had medals he showed me when I was a kid, but I've got no idea what kind of medals and what was the war.

The only story I recall is about him, while he served time in captivity, was elected by his mates to share their meager rations, because he was able to cut very small and equal slices and shares.

I don't know much about their serving time, now they have all passed away and I feel horrible ATM because I never really discussed with them about their wartime. I did not discussed much with them at all. That's why I praise what people like Erich do : collecting verterans recollections.

They all survived the war. I'll ask my parents to tell me what they know.
