[edit] WWI Service

The Ernest Hemingway wiki-article mentions Eric Smith meeting the author in service during WWI. I'm surprised there isn't a word on his serivce in WWI. Was it just omitted or did he not serve? (If so, then the Hemingway article should be amended.)

Eric Dorman-Smith was mentioned in Hemmingway's "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" (1936)", but I am not sure how to include that in the biography because the only reference is the book and the account given by Hemmingway. Does it matter or can that be used as a reference?DownUndr (talk) 23:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)DownUndr
