Last World War I veteran Frank W. Buckles dies at 110
Frank Buckles, the last surviving U.S. veteran of World War I, died Sunday at 110.
A family spokesman said Buckles died peacefully at his farm near Charles Town, W.Va.
Buckles grew up in Missouri and lied about his age to enlist in the Army at 16. He joined the ambulance service, serving in England and France. After WWI ended, he escorted prisoners back to Germany.
As a civilian in the Philippines during WWII, he was captured by the Japanese and held prisoner for three years.
Buckles celebrated his 110th birthday in February.
His family asks that donations be made to the National World War I Legacy Project to honor Frank Buckles and the 4,734,991 Americans that he served with during World War I. Details can be found at: Frank Woodruff Buckles :: America's Last Survivor of the First World War
