Nicolas Savin
Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Savin (17 April 1768/1787? – 29 November 1894)〔Constantin Woensky, Léon Castillon, and Nicolas Savin, ''(Nicolas Savin, dernier vétéran de la grande armée: sa vie -sa mort, 1768-1894 )'' (1895).〕 was a French soldier and a claimed supercentenarian, although this cannot be verified. He claimed to be the last survivor of the French Revolutionary Wars of 1792-1802 and the last French officer of the Napoleonic Wars. After the defeat of Napoleon's Army, he settled in the Russian Empire.
A Russian document dating from 1839 suggests that by his own account Savin was born about 1787. This would contradict his earliest claims about his military service and would make his age at death about 107, instead of 126.
==Military career==
Savin claimed to have been born in 1768 and to have enlisted in the 2nd Regiment of Hussars in 1788. He said his father, Alexandre Savin, was killed in battle defending the Tuileries Palace during the French Revolution and that he had "been at Toulon in 1793," had fought in Egypt in 1798, in the Peninsular War, and in the 1812 invasion of Russia. Around this time he was promoted to ''sous-officier'' (lieutenant) and transferred to the 24th ''Chasseurs a Cheval''.〔(Jean Baptiste Nicholas Savin )〕 He was awarded many medals, including the Legion d'Honneur and the St Helena Medal. In 1812 he was captured by the Cossacks and later worked as a fencing master for the Tsarist army.〔(Voyenski's interview with Savin )〕
