"I had a lost feeling… Then it occurred to me that I had not been alone or separated from other fellows in the service for a long time." (Memoir, page 29)

Ernest Linwood Muzzall

War: World War, 1914-1918 Branch: Army Unit: Army Mobile Veterinary Hospital 1; Army Expeditionary Force; 1st Army Service Location: Fort Riley, Kansas; Camp Lee, Virginia; Brest, France; Dijon, France; Nevers, France Rank: Sergeant First Class

Ernest Muzzall enlisted in the Army in February 1918, and by the time he arrived in Europe, the Armistice was just weeks away. But there was work to be done in the post-war period – Muzzall was assigned to Army Veterinary Hospital #1, classifying and transporting horses used by artillery units. After just over a year of service, Muzzall returned to the United States and was discharged. But upon his return to civilian life, he felt a loss as he left the excitement and comradeship of military life behind.
