That's a remarkable tale of longevity -- both husband and wife survived past the age of 100!

Might not be the real soldiers. Identity theft to live on someone's pensions etc. Just a CT.

What I find interesting is two unrelated individuals who married each other living to an age that is probably two standard deviations away from the mean life expectancy in that population. The odds of that happening are something like 1 in 10,000 (if I remember my normal distribution right -- and assuming a normal distribution for longevity.)
