Poland’s Oldest Soldier
M. Krasinski, who claimed to American Red Cross relief workers in Kiev that he was a veteran of Napoleon’s Moscow campaign, that he was born in 1792 and was 128 years old.

(Revised 2 March 2018 at the behest of our skeptical readers. Personally, I think he looks 128, but the oldest person on record ever was 122, so I'm guessing the skeptics are correct and Sergeant Krasinski was fibbing a bit.) |

ReplyDeleteIt's a great story, at least.
Too good to check.
DeleteHmmmm?
ReplyDeleteSkepticism here too. Details lacking. Who wrote this anyway?
DeleteOk I found a U.S. Library of Congress reference that M. Krasinski made a CLAIM to the American Red Cross that he was 128 years old (and veteran of both conflicts).

If you asked my father (who died at 86 years of age) how old he was, you would get a different answer every day. Not all references are truth. I remain skeptical.
Brings to mind the old Wall Street saying, " Important news if true."
