Henry Allingham, the world’s oldest man, died yesterday at the age of 113. He was the last surviving original member of the Royal Air Force and he fought – and survived – the First World War. When he was over 100 years ago, he started to talk to groups, the press about his generation and the huge losses they suffered in The Great War. He wanted to remind people about the true cost of war and to make sure that his “pals” were not forgotten.
