How do you honor a WW1 veteran?

Question

Any suggestions on what would be nice to add to a profile like this?

I tried to find something in the category picker for Montana veterans, and world war one/1 or WWI but nothing relevant seems to show up. Maybe some sticker would be suitable?

I was surprised to see this line in the records. "In view of occupation he was, on date of discharge, reported 40 percent disabled."

I can’t seem to figure out what this is Co F 32 Bn 166 Dep Brig

I think 166 is 166th Depot Brigade because I found a 168th so is it two different units or am I missing something?

You can start here for WWI info

Thanks!

Answer 2

This link is for the sticker:

The Great War Sticker

You could also try to search for information on what his particular unit did and perhaps you can determine what his disability was. If a category does not exist for his unit, perhaps you can ask the Military and War Project to create it. Most units are Regiment and above.

Thank you! I am completely inexperienced in the war department. I usually leave the profiles once I connected them over the pond but I saw the disability record and I was just taken by it.
