[DN BROKER]

CHARLES TOWN, WV - The last surviving veteran of World War One will turn 108-years-old on Sunday.

Frank Woodruff Buckles is living history but for the country's last surviving world war one veteran turning 108-years-old doesn't feel particular momentous.

That's pretty crazy. That man should be well taken care of.

I think we still have two,three or four in the UK, one died recently at about the same age as above, the war ended 90 years ago so unless they joined young, all veterans will be 108 or above.
