From its appearance in September 1918 until the WWI Armistice, Spanish flu infected about 40 percent of U.S. Army and Navy personnel. When influenza hit Vancouver Barracks, Col. R. G. Ebert was one of several doctors working for the Army&#039;s Spruce Production Division. A surgeon, Ebert solicited the last report on the disease from all Spruce Production Division doctors on Nov. 11, 1918, the day WWI ended. Armistice Day ended one world war in Europe, but doctors fought another world war against Spanish flu until 1920. The highly communicable disease proved unpreventable and untreatable.
