Last Doughboy Buckles recalls WWI and life after
Buckles, born in Missouri, enlisted after being denied by a recruiter and relying on family Bible proof. He served in Europe with an ambulance unit, was a POW in WWII, later became a merchant seaman, and returned to live near Washington. Now in his 100s, he collects war history, supports DC War Memorial restoration, and backs Rep. Poe’s 2009 WWI memorial bill.
