Default Buster Martin
Last night on the CBC National news, there was a piece on a guy from the UK who is training to run a marathon. What is unique about him is that he smokes, drinks, fights, and is 101 years old and has 17 children! His name is Buster Martin. He was born in 1906 and joined the British Army at age 15 in 1921. He retired from the Army as an RSM in 1955.

You should look at the Zimmers version of My Generation on YouTube. Buster Martin is the one with the beard at the end of the clip.
