I see that you added Arthur Rose to the List of last surviving World War II veterans as the last survivor of Operation Overlord. Do you have any links to reliable sources to support this claim? pburka (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He was in Normandy. I have a copy of his veteran’s card and a newspaper article. Here is a link to an article: https://jewishjournal.org/2025/07/31/whats-it-like-to-live-to-106-this-d-day-vet-knows/ Here is another article:

Is he the last survivor of the Normandy Landing, or just one of the many veterans who participated? This list only includes the last survivors of various notable groups. pburka (talk) 04:47, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, he is. Joannathebud (talk) 12:01, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason Arthur Rose was taken off the list.

This is too hard for me to do. I am a 62 year old disabled person trying to help a 106 year old veteran. I guess the information will never be known to the rest of the world. This is sad! Joannathebud (talk) 13:37, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
