Answer

During the First World War, A.A. Milne served as a lieutenant in the British Army. He was initially assigned to the Royal Warwickshire Regiment but later transferred to the Machine Gun Corps. Milne's experiences during the war would heavily influence his writing, particularly his children's book "Winnie-the-Pooh," which features characters based on his son's stuffed animals and the animals he encountered in the forest near his home.
