The World's Oldest Man, Henry Allingham, Dies at 113

The world's oldest man, Henry Allingham, died last Saturday at the age of 113. He devoted his last years in London to reminding his country about the patriotism of 9 million soldiers killed in World War I. The Associated Press commemorated Allingham on Sunday.

Allingham was the last surviving original member of the Royal Air Force, which was formed in 1918. He made it a personal crusade to talk about a conflict that wiped out much of a generation. Though nearly blind, he would take the outstretched hands of visitors in both of his, gaze into the eyes of children, veterans and journalists and deliver a message he wanted them all to remember.

"I want everyone to know," he told The Associated Press during an interview in November. "They died for us."
