Simply, I am looking for WWI veteran's addresses so that I can drop them a letter or two; I would enjoy writing to them. I saw a previous question asking for Frank Buckles' address, with one response; however this did not help me.
Could anyone else supply me with this information? I would prefer the address of Frank Buckles, since he saw action.

Depending on where you live, the surviving WW1 veterans are very thin on the ground.
4 in the UK
4 in France,
2-3 in the USA.
3 in Germany.
0 in Australia.
0 in New Zealand.
All of the veterans (God Bless Them all) are over 100 years old now and in various states of health.

I think your a blood sucker. You had 106 years to know Mr. Buckles but your writing in hopes of getting an autograph you can sell. Your despicable.
If your interested in veterans go to the Soldiers home in your state and volunteer. There's plenty of WWII vets that could use a sympathetic ear. But I believe your more pathetic.

You had better hurry they are going fast. I believe the US lost their last one. I think there are a couple in Canada and France. Just do a search on surviving WWI vets.

The local VFW's would be able to help you. If there are any WW1 veterans left anyway. Good luck!
