Soldiers tend to live in conditions where diseases easily spread. The 1918 Spanish flu is said to have started on military bases.

And got here from soldiers returning home from WWI in 1918

This is a bit off topic, but has any one here read a novel called "The Black Death" by Gwyneth Cravens and John S. Marr? It was published back in 1976 and tells of a wild outbreak of plague in New York City. The City is isolated in time to keep it from getting out, and then VX gas is dropped to kill all humans rats and fleas in the city. The interesting thing is that the gas is dropped on 9/11. The doctor who brought the disease to Hong Kong stayed at room 911 of the Metropole. And we all remember that other 9/11.

"And got here from soldiers returning home from WWI in 1918."

Actually, It started at an army base in Kansas and was spread around the world by the 'doughboys' going off to WW1. It is called the Spanish flu because the Spanish were the first to identify the virus.
