Cerberus 296 Posted November 11, 2005 Well, there must be many Canadian sites devoted to war veterans, but you might like to try here and follow some of the links. I see our friend Henry Allingham travelled to Calais to lay a wreath - I hope I'm that active at 109! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Die 63 Posted November 11, 2005 I see our friend Henry Allingham travelled to Calais to lay a wreath - I hope I'm that active at 109! You'll probably be worm-fodder at 109!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 296 Posted November 11, 2005 Maybe, maybe not - but at least Mrs Cerberus and I won't be arguing over which set of parents to go to for Christmas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Die 63 Posted November 11, 2005 Maybe, maybe not - but at least Mrs Cerberus and I won't be arguing over which set of parents to go to for Christmas! Is that because you'll be visiting the grandparents instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted November 12, 2005 I posted a very handy web address in this thread somewhere near the beginning. The site keeps a tally of how many WW1 veterans are still living. Maybe of some use. If not, try google. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weasel 2 Posted November 12, 2005 Geeeez! Never thought when I started this thread back in April it would still be going in November....cool! Evidently, a lot of people out there interested in WWI vets still living. Anybody else like the movie "All Quiet on the Western Front"? (The original movie, not the recent one). If you haven't seen it, you should! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bill Posted November 12, 2005 for the one who asked if there was a list of surviving WWI vets- I found one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surviving_Vet...rans_by_Country Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weasel 2 Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks Bill, it also shows those who died each year from 2000 to now. Appropriate for Veteran's Day I think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weasel 2 Posted November 12, 2005 Thought you were writing in German there for a minute...LOL...I knew an old man who was in WWI back in the 80's. His name was Ralph Barnhardt and he went to my church. He never said much about it, and he was very old then. We have a VA hospital near where I live and I really should go there and visit the vets more often. I never served in the military but have tremendous respect for those who did. I met a German soldier who served under Rommel several years ago. He came here with a missionary. He spoke no English but the missionary interpreted. The old soldier said that Rommel was a good man and was killed by Hitler (which I already knew but was interesting to hear it from one who was there. He has died since then. See ya.
