@SuperbattleshipYamato Yeah I get you 100%. Alternate History is a niche interest in the first place so finding other people willing to go down the rabbit hole is always tough.

No surviving WWI vets? That must come as a surprise to Frank Buckles, Claude Choules, and Florence Green. Claude Choules actually saw combat and witnessed the German naval surrender…Frank Buckles, while not a combatant, probably saw plenty of action as he was an ambulance driver near the front lines.

I am also amazed that any survivors remain from WWI. There are very few, even from WWII anymore. Sad to see these brave people go…

He will be missed, surely.
It truly is sad to think that most of the veterans from the Second World War will soon be gone with our generational span, let us listen to their stories, whilst we can.

One of my goals this year is to stop and make time to listen to WWII vets when the chance presents itself.

Mr. Buckles celebrated his 109th birthday yesterday. Well as much as a 109 year old celebrates anything.
