Notes for Walter Carl Krull: General Notes:
Herman, Clothilde and Walter moved back to Dillenburg, Germany around1905-1906. When WWI was coming, Clothilde was afraid that Walter wouldget drafted. Came back late in 1913. Walter got drafted in U.S. Army,did not fight in Europe. He was in line to get onto the Ticonderoga,butwas pulled out of line as he could type and a typist was needed immediately. His friends on the Ticonderoga perished while he was safe,an event that changed his view of everything. A good God could not have permitted this, in his mind, and he became an atheist.
