Detailed explanation-1: -Just like the flu we get today, the Spanish flu was particularly harmful to infants under age 5 and people over the age of 65. One thing that was different about the Spanish flu was that it also killed a large number of healthy adults, aged 20 to 40 years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Evolutionary biologist Paul Ewald has argued that trench warfare and its crowded conditions enabled an especially aggressive and deadly influenza virus to gain footing in humans. As soldiers in the trenches became sick, the military evacuated them from the front lines and replaced them with healthy men.
