World War I Veteran(s)

[Ulitzer95 12,653]

I posted that on another thread.Didn't post it here because it turns out he probably didn't serve in WW1 after all. It's wierd that he was never verified as the worlds oldest man though, which he must have been if the age is correct

 

1) OoO said WWI "ERA" veteran, which means he served in other conflicts during or around the time of WWI, but not necessarily related.

2) Poland didn't have conclusive birth/death records then if I'm correct, which makes it just about impossible for the GRG to verify him.

Apparently there is a suspicion he is a few years younger and it might have been an older brother who served and not him.

My newspaper had a story on Dorothy Ellis, the last surviving World War I veteran widow in England, who is merely 92 years old.

 

A little googling learns me she's been mentioned in the guardian and daily mail as well, so she might be obit-worthy.

Tottering totty of the highest order, thanks for that. I really hope she enjoys Christmas, cos that gives us a sporting chance of enjoying the New Year.

She would have been born after the war, seems like somebody preferred the younger model.

 

(Realistically there's at least 20 years between them. Still not as bad as Eden though, child-chasing twunt of a PM)

Hmm

 

Genuine mistake or conscious calamity in search of crumb of publicity?

 

Dunno myself

Yes, because the Germans are insane enough to send children to fight in the Great War... 

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

If there's a veteran left it's probably a regimental tortoise mascot.

My Grandfather lied about his age to sign up because his father was a violent alcoholic. He would never go into a pub.

My great uncle died in the First World War. He was 14.

 

Those signing folk up didn't give a toss.

Aye, but the don't give a toss now cos even the 14 year old "soldiers" are dead.

[msc 18,476]

Aye, but everything dies if you wait long enough.

[runebomme 377]

Harry Patch the Last British ww1 soldier died at 111 in 2009

 

some one serving at 14 near the end of the war in 1918 would be 113

 

and considering that france germany and russia each had more soldiers than the British

 

 

[Zsa Zsa's leg 884]

If someone were 13 and joined towards the end of the war in 1917, they would be 113. 

I think they're all dead and should have a dead banner on this thread.

[msc 18,476]

There's only one living 113 year old in the UK (verified) - Bess Camm.

 

Oldest living guy is 109 year old Alf Smith from Perth.

 

Oldest living Germans (verified) are 111.

[Sean 6,330]

Last veried WW1 veteran was British woman Florence Green who died on 4th February 2012 15 days shy of her 111th birthday.
