N.O.S. Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 The oldest of only 3 American survivors from WW1 has died at 109. He leaves behind 2 comrades, aged 108 and 106. Just watched the French production 'Happy Christmas' about fraternisation in the Scottish, French and German trenches near Delsaux Farm over Christmas 1914 - stunning. And to think there would be almost 4 more years fighting over the same piece of ground........... This must be the same Delsaux Farm, south of Beugny village where Jackson died in Sep 1918 during the re-taking of the village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Good post Tony. Even better as it links with Jackson, wish I could have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Another WW1 US veteran died earlier this year (a motor transport driver) and his coffin was taken to the cemetry in the back of Liberty B truck. I will try and look out the photos. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
