Hello, I am trying to get more info on OCTOBER 14 1918 a date that my Grandpa .....THEN a United States Army Infantryman.... MICHELINO NANIA was wounded on a French battlefield named CHATEAU THIERRY AISNE....or a name like that....It was on this very date of October 14 1918 in World War One that he was hit by German hand grenade scrapnel....left partially blinded as well as permanent weakness in both legs....Michelino Nania was born on JANUARY 16 1889 in either CATANZARO or FASSATTO , ITALY... He boarded the ocean line the REGINA D'ITALIA on MAY 18 1910.... And he arrived in AMERICA on JUNE 3 1910....landing at ELLIS ISLAND.... ONLY to years later be DRAFTED into the US ARMY and BACK over the ATLANTIC to serve his NEW country....!..... God Bless him and ALL the othe Military Men and women that had to go through with that.....Joe Nania
 
Hmmm. I've never heard of said battle. I'm sure there's someone here who has, though. Welcome aboard. :)
