I don't have precise figures but yes there were a significant number of men, on both sides, who served in both wars. Michael Montagne
yes, general MacArthur would be the most famous example.
Mc Arthur wasn?t alone. Add several thousand German soldiers born in the late 1890?s. They most likely fought as young men in WW1 and saw action in WW2 as reservists. As far as I know they had to serve in the reserve until the age of 45.
Two men just as famous - more famous in Europe actually - are Fieldmarshalls Rommel and Montgomery, Germany and Britain respectivly
Me dad's granddad has medals from both wars :D
Gen Rommel recruited Veterans of WW I who had joined the French foreign legion. When the Germans invaded Poland the western front was manned by WW I vets.
Just to name a few, German General Rommel and Herman Goering wore a Blue Max medal, which was awarded to them in WW1. This was a Prussian medal that was not issued in WW2.
