Oldest living WW1 ... ( 3 months ago by IgnatzKolisch)
Oldest living WW1 veteran?? Henry Allingham and Harry Patch alone are both older. Allingham was born in 1896!! They are still alive. Even mild research would help avoid false statements...
And those older ... ( 3 months ago by vuxfeon)
And those older guys also saw active service in the trenches, buckles did not. He was a driver for the french and british, not near the front line.
however the comment of the video is correct in the context of the US oldest guy
dude its not false ... ( 2 months ago by kidplayinggames)
dude its not false just the fact that he made it through hell and you are dissmissing his clames that he dosent even brag about, i mean you herd him he can barley speak properley and your telling peaple to look up things to dissprove this? dude think about wat i just said
dosent matter he ... ( 2 months ago by kidplayinggames)
dosent matter he still survived they shot medics, drivers, teenagers that beeged for thare lives
What the hell are ... ( 2 months ago by IgnatzKolisch)
What the hell are you talking about? The claim that he's the OLDEST WW1 veteran IS false. I named two who are still living that are older. What's wrong with you? What I said is very simple. I said people need to look up to disprove the claim that he's the oldest living WW1 veteran, since he obviously isn't. I hope you're drunk or something, otherwise, you need a brain transplant.
ok 1 you need to ... ( 2 months ago by kidplayinggames)
ok 1 you need to think of the fact that this man lived throu one the wars that had ever sufferd the casualtes and your trying to once more dissprove a fact that he dosent even brag about you might be right on the fact that he isnt the oldest but that dosent matter! and this guy is a pece of historey and we need to make sure that he is honerd throu out the ages a 1 of the WWI vetrinS (do you see the S as in prulal as in MORE THAN FREKING 1!!!!) and no in not drunk thank you vary much im 13 idot!!
if you are 13 then ... ( 2 months ago by vuxfeon)
if you are 13 then try listening to what people are saying.
1. he is not the oldest surviving war vet
and
2. he was never on the front line are facts.
Stop getting so upset, we agree with all the other stuff you are saying abiut honouring him etc or we would not be here in the first place would we.
take a deep breath and read my answer again son
ok....sorry i got ... ( 2 months ago by kidplayinggames)
ok....sorry i got up set at you i read the answer agen and it did make a little more sense but im stiking to what i said is that ok?
Jesus, I have ... ( 2 months ago by IgnatzKolisch)
Jesus, I have nothing against Mr. Buckles. Quite the contrary, I'd practically WORSHIP him because of his age alone. My correction is toward WHOEVER SAID HE IS THE OLDEST. That is the person that is false. What the hell is wrong with your comprehension?
im sorry i offended ... ( 2 months ago by kidplayinggames)
im sorry i offended you however i am stiking to what i beleave is that he is the oldest... once I DEEPLEY APOLIGISE 4 WHAT I SAID THAT MIGHT HAVE OFFENDED YOU... thare im sorry you and me have differint belefes what you may beleave is true, i still beleave what i beleave is that ok with you?
P.S. i DONT MEAN TO ... ( 2 months ago by kidplayinggames)
P.S. i DONT MEAN TO OFFENDE YOU!!!!
Why do you believe ... ( 2 months ago by IgnatzKolisch)
Why do you believe he is the oldest WW1 veteran, when Henry Alligham is still alive??? Harry Patch is still alive. Buckles might be the YOUNGEST surviving WW1 veteran, but he's definitely not the oldest. This is a fact. Allingham was born in 1896 for God's sake.
sorry, but i ... ( 2 months ago by kidplayinggames)
sorry, but i beleave the pentigon did itss reserch, im not saying that what you beleave is false, i gust think he is the oldest, who knows mabey the sorce that you got was a little bit off with age, im not saying that its wrong but it just might be a little off P.S. i dont mean to offend you with anything i say so please dont be upset
HENRY ALLINGHAM. ... ( 2 months ago by IgnatzKolisch)
HENRY ALLINGHAM. Say it with me, Professor: HENRY ALLINGHAM. He's the oldest surviving WW1 veteran. Buckles is the second-youngest... only Claude Stanley Choules is younger, by about a month. ALL NINE of the other WW1 veterans still living are OLDER THAN BUCKLES. He's the SECOND-YOUNGEST. Henry Allingham, born 6 June 1896. Buckles, born 1 February 1901. You do understand that being born 1896 makes Allingham older, right? Can you do that simple math?
WW1 veterans still ... ( 2 months ago by IgnatzKolisch)
WW1 veterans still living that are older than Buckles:
Lucas, Sydney (Syd)
Ross, John Campbell
Powers, Gladys
Borroni, Delfino
Chiarello, Francesco Domenico
Allingham, Henry William !OLDEST!
Patch, Henry John (Harry)
Stone, William (Bill)
Babcock, John F.
