Wonderful thread. It is possible that some widows of Boer War servicemen are stil with us... Helen Viola Jackson (August 3, 1919 – December 16, 2020) was the last surviving widow of a Union soldier and the last surviving widow of a Civil War veteran overall; she died on December 16, 2020, at the age of 101. (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War...nto_the_21st_century )
The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.

In another thread, I posted his interview, but seems appropriate to repost it for those interested.
