Frank Buckles

Frank Buckles (thank God for wikipedia) is the last surviving American veteran of World War 1 - here's an excellent article by Richard Rubin in yesterday's NYT.

Two of my many great-uncles, John K Bragg and Osa Bragg, went to France in 1918. Uncle Osa kept a box of memorabilia from his tour through France and Germany that was given to me after he died. It's upstairs high atop a closet shelf to keep the kids away from it - I really need to get the material scanned and on the web, perhaps with the help of our two oldest.

A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought.—Lord Peter Wimsey
