Excellent post Osem, Henry truly is an amazing man, when you consider he was at the battle of Jutland, with the then British Grand Fleet, an awesome thought, also in the horror of the first world war trenches, Henry is living history. We in Brighton are kept fairly well informed about Henry by our local paper the Evening Argus, as St Dunstans is only a few miles down the coast. As regards documenting his life, I believe somebody is doing just that, so says the local paper, I for one would definitely buy a book documenting this great mans life. 112 years old on June 6, very fitting Henry should share his birthday with D-Day.:)
