As 'the regulars ' on here will know by now,I have a strong affinity with 'The First Tommies',and today is no exception.Mr Henry Allingham has been made an officer of The French Legion of Honour.He is 112 years old and is the last known survivor of the Battle of Jutland and apparently Britain's oldest man.He lost his wife nearly 40 years ago,and I have spent many afternoons with him,and his 2 daughters (who are both in their 80's) and have learnt alot from them.Harry Patch was also recently awarded the same honour.Hats off to you lads
