Ernest Hemingway
During the First World War Ernest Hemingway served as an ambulance driver in Italy. One specific incident influenced his life greater than any other. An explosion ripped a munitions factory apart and he raced to the scene. He needed to rescue the bodies of women among the rubble. He later told of this everlasting experience in his book, “Death in the Afternoon”.

Humphrey Bogart
For many teenagers, figuring out what to do with your life is difficult and daunting. Humphrey Bogart was a teenager during a difficult time, and that time was the First World War. When he was just eighteen he enlisted in the Navy but only made it to France in 1919, after the Great War had already ended. He still had what to say about his experiences there, and it was that the women were beautiful and the food good.
