This image of my maternal grandfather Leo C. Ziv (1890-1971) [center] was probably taken during his training at Fort Dix, New Jersey. As part of the American Expeditionary Force the following year, his lungs were burned by a cloud of mustard gas floating into his trench. He had to expectorate into a paper sack for the remaining 53 years of his life.
