I am not yet quite in that age range and my father , born in the 1890s, was a serving soldier in WW1.
Due to genuine health reasons he remained in the UK. He manned an ARP post during WW2
I had his three official aircraft silhouette spotting books to study.

My very young uncle was lost when his naval ship was sunk by a U boat.
( Due to a "mis- identification or something, very shortly after an italian craft sank the U boat)
My wifes uncle was a sapper in North Africa etc.
All other male relatives of serving age were in reserved occupations.
I have no stories re WW1 or WW2.
