My father was on a troopship bound for Europe on the 11th day of November 1918. The ship turned around and went back to Norfolk, VA from where it had come. My British-born father became an American Citizen in 1919 because of his time in the American Armed Forces. I have his citizenship and honorable discharge papers. He became a citizen thru an Act of Congress and by the State of New York. He went home to his fiance, my mother, and they were married in Dearborn, Wayne County, MI 9 October 1919. I never call 11 November 'Veteran's Day." It will always be Armistice Day. I had four Uncles in the British Army who surived that war - one at Verdon, one somewhere in France (I don't know the name of the battle), one in India, and one in Yemen. Annie
