To find out what your great grandfather did in the First World War, start by gathering any family documents, letters, or photographs that might provide clues about his service. Next, check military records, such as enlistment papers, service records, and pension files, which can often be accessed through national archives or online databases. You can also explore local libraries or historical societies for resources related to his regiment or geographic area. Finally, reaching out to genealogy websites or forums might connect you with others who have researched similar topics.

Sol Fuchs was my grandfather. I spoke at his funeral.
Did you ever find a crew list? My grandfather served on the K 319.
Probably not, unless your great grandfather was someone famous, or he was at least somewhat well-known. We don't archive old photos, but there are some online sites that do. You may be able to find photos of the men who served in his military unit, or even find photos of places where he served. But unless there was a reason for someone to take his picture during the war, it's not something most archives would have.
You need to find out if you have a common ancestor, as this is what determines if you are cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather, you are 1st cousins. If your common ancestor is your great-grandfather, you are 2nd cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather and their great-grandfather, you are 1st cousins once removed. It can get complicated, so once you find your common ancestor, come back and let us know, and someone can tell you exactly.
You can order his military records from "www.archives.gov" - I found my gg grandfather's civil war records for $17.50 and it gave me the name of the village he was from in Germany!
