You heard correct. I have never heard any contemporary account from the time call it "WW1" - they did call it "the war to end all wars," though.

I found this citation referring to a book published in 1920, though I couldn't find the text of the book itself online.

What I find more interesting is the use of the phrase "millenial folk".
