Fought in WW1, Japanese prisoner in WW2. Hardly seems fair, but obviously he was one tough guy. Well done to him.

A good man. RIP.

Only two known veterans remain, according to the Order of the First World War, a Florida group whose members are descendants of WWI veterans and include Buckles' daughter. The survivors are Florence Green in Britain and Claude Choules in Australia, said Robert Carroon, the group's senior vice commander. Choules, who served in Britain's Royal Navy, was born in that country but now lives in Australia.

Well, he was born in Missouri;).....and growing up in Dewey, Oklahoma in the early 1900s was as tough as anything you can bet. This guy didn't know what the "easy way" was.
