Last American World War I Doughboy turns 110

We've mentioned Frank Woodruff Buckles on our blog before. Today he turned 110. He is the last surviving World War I vet that saw combat in Europe.

Buckles enlisted in the military when he was 16 after lying about his age to an Army recruiter. He served in England and France, working as an ambulance driver before being assigned to a prisoner-of-war escort company returning prisoners to Germany.

He was too old to serve in the military in World War II, but In 1941, he was working in Manila for the American President Line, a shipping company. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines, Buckles was captured and spent 3 1/2 years in a prisoner-of-war camp before he was rescued by American forces when they retook the Island nation.
