WWI Vets Are Still Alive!


This is an article talking about the life and funeral of a British WWI veteran. I couldn't believe they are still living! Well, I followed a link to information on and interviews with the last surviving American WWI veteran on the website for the Library of Congress. Stories include experiences with German prisoners, lying about his age to enlist, and pestering officers to send him to France. I'm a sucker for history...and this is a gold mine.
