Spanish Flu wiki

The 1918 influenza pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920; colloquially known as Spanish flu) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus.[1] It infected 500 million people around the world,[2] including people on remote Pacific islands and in the Arctic, and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million (three to five percent of the world's population),[3] making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history.[4][5][6]

It kept my Grandfather at Fort Sill rather than shipping out to France.

Silver lining for all of you as he may have been killed or injured but wasn’t so I could be the gift to TD that I am.

Ft Sill was hit hard. I remember reading about a battalion of ~700 men that was reduced to just a couple of hundred men and rendered combat ineffective.
