VDB, As we discussed on the telephone it looks like there are maybe three World War veterans left. One each from the U.S., Canada and GB. This may very well be the last Armistice Day we have veterans of The Great War with us. Never forget our brave service men and women!!!! Regards, J. |

Hello everyone, While looking at the site, I happened to find this post, one which as far as I know is still accurate. Additionally I have done some light research to find a total of 5 WWI veterens, and one unverified still living. These are there names and countries. Choules, Claude Stanley, United Kingdom Age 108 Allingham, Henry William, United Kingdom Age 113 Patch, Henry John (Harry), United Kingdom Age 111 Babcock, John Henry Foster (Jack), Canada Age 108 Buckles, Frank Woodruff, United States Age 108 Unverified Terrey, Douglas (Doug) United Kingdom Age 105 Additionally there is one more that served after Armistice date, but before the signing of the Treaty of Versailles Kowalski, Józef Poland Age 109 See more information on all of these great men here Last WWI VeteransHere is hoping they all have many more years to come. Regards, VDB |
