My great uncle Earl Arnold served in WW1 with a local outfit...the 313th machine gun batallion. For years he had a WW1 water cooled m/g in the window of his barber shop. (Wish I had it today.) Across the street from his barbershop was the 313th M/G Batallion Club for WW1 vets. To this day the emblem is still inlaid in the sidewalk in brass although the club is now an after hours hang out.
I do have his shaving mirror... which is simply a highly polished piece of steel with a device for hanging it up on a nail or a tree branch. No other artifacts remain anywhere in the family.
