john henry foster babcock, or, if you will, "jack," joined the canadian expeditionary force in 1916 but never saw wwi action on account of his young age. however, those of us who know a thing or two about history will note that the war didnt end until 1918.

as such, 109 years later, he stands as one of four surviving world war one veterans.

happy birthday, jack.
