110? That in and of itself is amazing.
Not too far from ANZAC day either T.T Sounds like he had a full on life though which is good :)
RIP Mr Buckles. You deserve it *salutes*
It's extremely sad to see generations fade. Just a few years ago the last survivor of Titanic died.

Exactly what I was going to say. It's a little frightening to see history's survivors die--it's important to have a physical reminder of these huge events--not just being told about them. It was more real to hear about World War II from my grandpa--who actually served--then to read about it in a history book.
Rest in Heaven, Mr. Buckles. You'll be at peace with your fellow soldiers.
Mr. Buckles sounds like the name of a cat.

I was thinking the same thing. :)
And a small piece of history fades away. RIP.
