My point being wait until you are told that you are correct before assuming you are and posting an answer. And yes I am aware of the shoes at New Market but I was thinking of the 49th NYVI when I posted.

You don't always have to live up to your curmudgeon status.

Henry Allingham UK
Frank Buckles US (recently there was an article on him on NPR)
Gladys Powers UK (Her I Googled)[/quote]

You got one of the names right, and found a 4th I did not know about (Allingham) so I will pass it back to you. I also was not counting Gladys Powers, if you google her name an obit pops up, but it turns out it is not her. I am actually kinda happy that there are 5 not 3 still alive.

The three I had.
