Toni was a WWI Purple Heart recipient who served two stints in the Army: July 1917-July 1919, and December 1921-December 1924.

His WWII registration card gives his date of birth as 5 May 1894, and I have chosen to go with this date, the headstone card notwithstanding. The May 5th date seems to be the one he went by - his widow included it on the application card.

On the WWII registration card, Toni says he was born at sea in the Atlantic Ocean, though his death certificate says he was born in Italy.
