Talk:John Morton-Finney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm not really sure if Finney was the last remaining Buffalo Soldier. I've found that there is another man by the name of Mark Mathews, aged 108, who is still living, that served in this elite unit. Longevitymonger

Me thanks you very much. Longevitymonger
- Mark Matthews now has an article, but Finney's status as a "Buffalo Soldier" is questionable ... that distinction properly belongs to someone who served in one of the four units specifically enumerated, or at least served during the Indian Wars or the Spanish-American War, but the consensus is that World War I veterans are not included in that group ...
