World's oldest man Dead

allingham_henry_oldest_man_113_yrs.jpegLondon - The world's oldest man Henry Allingham has died at the age of 113. St Dunstan's care home in Ovingdean, near Brighton England.  Allingham died early Saturday. He was one of only two surviving World War I veterans in Britain and had been the world's oldest man since June 19.

Allingham joined the Royal Naval Air Service - precursor to the Royal Air Force - in 1915, and a year later took part in the Battle of Jutland, the war's largest naval battle. During World War II he worked on measures to counter magnetic mines.

He co-wrote an autobiography, Kitchener's Last Volunteer - a reference to Britain's war secretary who rallied men to the cause - and was made an Officer of France's Legion of Honour.
