Phi Gamma Delta In World War I
Phi Gamma Delta In World War I
It was estimated during World War One that over 6000 brothers were in military service; later speculations stated over 8000. Including veterans who were initiated post-war, the number is doubtless much higher. Phi Gams served in many armies, including the US, Canada, Britain, France, Italy and even Peru. At least one brother served in the Germany military as a surgeon.
A total of 127 Fijis were known to have given their lives in service during World War I between April 22, 1917, when the United States declared war on Germany, and November 11, 1918, Armistice Day, and in the subsequent occupation of Germany.
