I was always wondering what this place was when i took skytrain on silom line. It's still there! When the BTS turns by rajadamri to Surasak, you can see this place on your right hand side.
Glad to hear that it's still in tact. History, history....

All got a medal though.
Some died and there is a memorial to them in Bangkok !

90th Anniversary of World War I. This Is The History of Siamese Volunteer Crop. « Thai Military Information Blog

Interesting link.
My understanding was that the Siamese involvement was a token and diplomatic gesture at most. Some 5,000 volunteered but only 1,300 were sent. A late start into the war, they saw nominal or no action.
