Captain Frank and some of the boys were exchanging old war stories. Art Bragg offered one about how his grandfather led a battalion against a German division during World War I. Through brilliant maneuvers he defeated them and captured valuable territory.
After the battle he was presented with a sword bearing the inscription "To Captain Bragg for Bravery, Daring and Leadership. World War I. From the Men of Battalion 8."
Captain Frank looked at Art and said, "You really don't expect anyone to believe that yarn, do you?" What's wrong with the story?

World war 1 wasn't known as that until the second world war occurred.

Because it wasn't called World War I at that time; it didn't become "World War I" until after the 2nd one.

It wouldn't have been inscribed with the words, "World War I" since it wasn't referred to as that untill after WW2.
