Title: RIP Henry Allingham
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Saturday, July 18, 2009, 13:25:17
Ok I didn't know much about the guy, but The word legend and hero is bantered around alot these days, Football players are not legends etc. People like Henry Allingham were.

The worlds oldest living World War 1 serviceman and founding member of the RAP has died at an unbelievable 113 Years old.

RIP to a true Legend!

You can't really compare a war veteran with a musician though can you?

R.I.P. Mr. Allingham.
