Henry Allingham

Henry William Allingham (6 June 1896 – 18 July 2009) was a British supercentenarian, the oldest British man ever, First World War veteran and, for one month, the verified oldest living man in the world. He is also the second-oldest military veteran ever, and at the time of his death, he was the 12th-verified oldest man of all time.
Allingham was the oldest ever surviving member of any of the British Armed Forces and one of the oldest surviving veterans of the First World War. He was the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland, the last surviving member of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and the last surviving founding member of the Royal Air Force (RAF). In 2001 he became the face of the First World War veterans' association and made frequent public appearances to ensure that awareness of the sacrifices of the First World War was not lost to modern generations.〔〔 He received many honours and awards for his First World War service and his longevity.〔〔〔
==Early life==

Allingham was born in 1896 in Clapton, County of London. When he was 14 months old, his father, Henry Thomas Allingham, died at age 29 of tuberculosis.〔See General Register Office indices for quarter ending September 1899, 〕 Henry is recorded in the 1901 census with his widowed mother Amy Jane Allingham (née Foster), a laundress forewoman, living with her parents and brother at 23 Verulam Avenue, Walthamstow.〔(Piece details RG 13/1623—General Register Office: 1901 Census Returns—Registration Sub-District: Walthamstow—Civil Parish, Township or Place: Walthamstow (part) ), ''The Catalogue'', The National Archives. Images of census pages available by subscription from various sources as RG13 Piece 1623 Folio 104 Page 8〕 His mother remarried in 1905 to Hubert George Higgs〔See General Register Office indices for quarter ending December 1905, 〕 and in 1907 the family moved to Clapham, London. Henry and his mother are recorded in the 1911 Census living at 21 Heyford Avenue, Lambeth, while his stepfather was lodging away from home working as a wheelwright.〔(Piece details RG 14/2004, General Register Office: 1911 Census Schedules, Registration Sub-District: Kennington—Civil Parish, Township or Place: Lambeth (part)—RD 25 RS 2 ED 30 ), ''The Catalogue'', The National Archives. Images of census pages available by subscription on Findmypast.com as reference RG14 Piece 2004 Reference RG78PN70 RD25 SD2 ED30 SN431〕 Henry attended a London County Council school〔 before attending the Regent Street Polytechnic. Allingham remembered seeing the City Imperial Volunteers return from the Second Boer War, and also recalled watching W. G. Grace play cricket. On leaving school, Allingham started work as a trainee surgical instrument maker at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. He did not find this job very interesting, and so left to work for a coachbuilder specialising in car bodies.
