On this day in 1918, Ernest Hemingway, an 18-year-old ambulance driver for the American Red Cross, is struck by a mortar shell while serving on the Italian front, along the Piave delta, in World War I.
Hemingway died by his own hand, in the foyer of his Ketchum home in July 1961. He suffered both mentally and physically as he grew older, and it is believed that writing became a burden for the once-prolific author. Hemingway, said to write as a quest for personal understanding, seemed to have lost track of himself.
