My WWI Relatives

Both my grandfathers participated in WWI. My mother's father, William Graham Hood was in the Army, but never was sent overseas. My great uncle, William Prince, served overseas in the AEF as a lieutenant. He returned to Goldsboro, NC, but lost his life a short time later when he drowned while rescuing a young boy from a flood, for which he received a Carnegie Medal.

My father's father, Norman Kirby Hatch, was in the Merchant Marine.
