Samwel Nthigai Mburia

I just saw a story about King Charles III meeting a 117 year-old Kenyan veteran named Samwel Nthigai Mburia, this would make him older than anyone on this list, is there any reason why he is not on the list? Did none of us know, or is it unconfirmed? Should I add him? 2204happy (talk) 03:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
