Try googling the year of your great grandfather's military service with the word "uniform"
I googled "Military Uniforms through history" and this is what I got. https://www.google.com/search?q=military+uniforms+through+history&safe=active&sxsrf=ALeKk036spaRSelerSWTpllnLeJx3m7L4w:1…
Good luck in your search,
Alice

World War 1, or World War 2. Uniforms were very different between those wars. If you have a photo please submit. Many here are able to help you.

Heinz Ahlers May 28, 2020 10:26 AM (in response to Sandi Finley)1 person found this helpfulThat appears to be a WWI army uniform. IF there us sufficient detail in the original photo you may be able to make out stamping on the buttons that have either an eagle, a generic us mark, or a particular service marking like crossed swords or crossed cannons

Re: How to identify uniform worn by great-grandfather
Allen Gray May 28, 2020 12:43 PM (in response to Sandi Finley)The photograph, to me, appears to be of a young man in a World War I era uniform. I base that on the appearance of the collar and the breast pocket flaps. I would guess that it is either an Army or Marine uniform. It would be helpful, though, if you were to provide information about the individual's country of citizenship and dates of birth and death.
