Which of these writers fought in World War I?

Erich Maria Remarque, born Erich Paul Remark on June 22, 1898, in Osnabrück, was a German writer known for his poignant depictions of war's futility. He is often associated with the "Lost Generation," a term used to describe those who came of age during World War I. Remarque's most famous work, "All Quiet on the Western Front," published in 1929, remains one of the most significant anti-war novels of the 20th century. The novel offers a harrowing insight into the experiences of soldiers and the devastating impact of war on their lives.

Remarque's personal experiences in the war deeply influenced his writing. He was drafted into the German army on November 21, 1916, and by June 17, 1917, he was stationed on the Western Front. On July 31, 1917, Remarque was severely wounded by shrapnel in his left leg, right arm, and neck. These injuries led to his hospitalization for the remainder of the war, where he witnessed the suffering and trauma of his fellow soldiers. This period of his life provided the raw material for his later literary works, which continue to resonate with readers worldwide.
