Synopsis

Ah, Robert Burns, a man whose life reads like a script from a Hollywood blockbuster, minus the car chases and explosions. Born on November 12, 1895, he was destined for greatness—or at least for surviving more than a century, which, let's be honest, is a feat in itself. At the tender age of 19, he decided that a quiet life wasn't for him and enlisted in the Cameron Highlanders to partake in the glorious chaos of World War I. Picture him marching off to the Battle of Loos in 1915 and the Battle of the Somme in 1916, where he somehow managed to dodge bullets and grenades with the kind of luck that would make a Vegas gambler weep with envy. While many of his comrades sadly didn't make it, Robert emerged unscathed, dedicating his later years to remembering those who weren't as fortunate. Living to the ripe old age of 104, he became the last surviving member of the Cameron Highlanders from World War I—a title that, quite frankly, deserves a medal. As if longevity wasn't enough, he also turned into a social butterfly, popping up everywhere from Buckingham Palace garden parties to memorial services at the Cenotaph, and even rubbing shoulders with the glitterati at film premieres in London's West End. A beloved figure wherever he went, Robert was the epitome of charm and charisma, proving that age really is just a number. This book doesn't just stop at his wartime adventures. It delves into his post-war escapades in the entertainment industry and chronicles his retirement activities, painting a vivid picture of a man who squeezed every last drop of excitement out of life. His story is a testament to living with gusto and serves as a beacon of inspiration to all who hear it. Robert bid farewell to this world in October 2000, just shy of his 105th birthday, leaving behind a family and friends who will forever cherish the incredible legacy he carved out over more than a century.
