A fact from Stanley Stair appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 August 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that at 107 years old, Stanley Stair of Jamaica was at the time of his death the last surviving Caribbean veteran of World War I?
Several additional articles we are on the look out for from Jamaican newspapers:
"Still Standing – A war veteran's survival story" by Arlene Martin (October 2000) – article commemorating his 100th birthday
2008 obituary (there appear to be multiple)
And of course, any other news clippings regarding Stanley Stair would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cielquiparle (talk) 05:26, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If your university or institution has access to Springer, the book chapter we are looking for which discusses Stanley Stair is:
