While the Silver Star itself was created in 1932, the Citation Star, created in 1918, was its predecessor. Veterans of World War I were eligible to convert the Citation Star, if awarded, to the Silver Star. I know because my grandfather converted his Citation Star for Gallantry in Action to the Silver Star. However, the U.S. government kept very poor official records on this award and you may have trouble finding your WWI veteran's name on a list of recipients.

Specific details about individual recipients may require further research into military records.
It was impossible for ANYONE to receive a Silver Star Medal in WWI, as the medal did not exist until the early 1940's.
