Ulitzer95 10,974 Posted December 9, 2013 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I.R.Baboon 206 Posted April 2, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,933 Posted April 2, 2014 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. 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 749 Posted July 31, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
