RIP old boy
Henry put his long life down to "cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women"
Only Harry Patch left now

Unlike Henry my grandad fought on the front line in the trenches and was wounded at the Somme. When he died nobody gave a sh!t except his family. I'd rather raise a glass to him.

Up on the downs- did your grandad live until he was 113? I think not...

Think your missing the point.

A ripe old age and one of many who gave so much to this country, uponthedowns and many other's grandparents too. RIP you've earned it.

No but his wife lived to 103 does that count?
So we're supposed to get misty eyed over Henry because he managed to live longer than the other WW1 veterans. I don't think so.
On the other hand if his passing almost (Harry Patch is still left) means that the men who fought for this nation in that conflict are all gone and we should spare a thought for all of them then I'm all for that.

That's how I see it too - it's the end(ing) of an era. A break in the link to a terrible part of our shared history. As I said Lest we forget.

uponthedowns - if somebody had told me about your grandad, I [& probably everyone else here] would have raised a glass to him too
The fact that Henry Allingham is one of the last means it gets reported & gives those that care the chance to remember them all & what they gave again
