he was a writer, a great American journalist

------------

Hemingway was rejected from the U. S. military services on several occassions. His poor eyesight prefented him from taking his place as a member of the U. S. infantry, a position he much desired. In 1917 he was able to join the Red Cross and was sent to the Italian front as part of the American contribution to shore up Italian morale.

Hemingway served as an ambulance driver until 8 July 1918 when he was seriously wounded. He was repaitriated to the U. S. before the end of the war.
