Did he really? Wow! Forget where I first read this but there was a theory that Spanish flu wasn't Spanish at all and came from the American midwest as we entered the war very late but had been the then allied powers main source of protein and vegetables included in soldier rations. So imagine a bunch of chicken farmers in the midwest. Perhaps a few of them came over late in the war to fight. Maybe some were sick and maybe some were asymptomatic. Of course I've no idea. I guess that bird flu virus took hold in Spain and then spread for 18 months+ globally hence the name. Mind you, "Spanish" flu happened at the END of WWI not the beginning.
