A young Walt Disney forges his parents' signatures to enlist in the American Ambulance Corps (part of the Red Cross) as an ambulance driver. He changes his birth from 1901 to 1900. (Walt's older brother Roy has been in the Navy since June 1917.) The ongoing World War is currently being fought in Europe involving all the world's great powers. At 11 a.m. on November 11 1918; "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month"; a ceasefire will come in to effect ending the war... about a week before young Walt ever reaches France.
