Let's see........I don't recall that he was in the war,.............or at least nobody has told me so. His mom was alone after 1927 and so she had to have someone be with her since she was rather advanced in age at that time (having died only 2 years later).I don't recall Frank being in WWI, but if you can check just in case. .....his name was Frank Dvorak Mary Thiele Fobian wrote: >John, send me his name.
