Keaton had a tough time in WW I, they moved him from infantry to signal corps but he was under 5'5" and
wore a 6 1/2 shoe. They couldn't even come close, 8 1/2 was the smallest shoe and coats like tents.
Thanks for sharing this! Another interesting tidbit is the unit was commanded by Lt Col Lewis Stone (Judge Hardy)
