"Frank Buckles, America's Last WWI Veteran, Dies Aged 110." BBC - Homepage. Web. 28 Feb. 2011.
Frank Buckles passed away of natural causes today at the age of 110. He was enlisted into the army in 1917, but lied about his age in order to do so. He was also captured by the Japanese in 1941 while working in the Philippines. Truly remarkable how a man such as him could live through this century experiencing more than a man should.
