Brave Celebrities Who Served Their Country In The Army

Ernest Hemingway – Red Cross

When it comes to works like The Old Man and the Sea, The Sun Also Rises, and For Whom The Bell Tolls, we have Ernest Hemingway to thank! He was able to observe different things during The Great War and this really became the inspiration for his writing.

He was a member of the Italian Red Cross as an ambulance driver. There was also a time where he ran a mobile canteen that served chocolates and cigarettes for the soldiers. Being in the war is hard, but had Hemingway not been there the world would have never been treated with his subsequent work!
