""It was only when he joined the veterans' association and all the media attention he received after his 100th birthday that we learned about what he did."

LONDON - Albert Marshall, believed to have been the last surviving British cavalryman to serve in World War I, has died. He was 108.


Must have been a lucky guy!

Rest in Peace.

this is the recording of the actual bugle from the charge. hope that sets the mood for you fellas.

I salute his courage. Apparently the good Lord wanted him to stay around for a while.

Some die shouting in gas or fire;
Some die silent, by shell and shot.
Some die desperate, caught on the wire;
Some die suddenly. This will not.
