The youngest soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Bulge would be 85, or turning 85 this year. That would mean that some of them still are left, but their numbers would be diminishing rapidly. I don't know a figure for how many soldiers from that Battle are still alive, but they now say that almost 1,500 Veterans of World War II are dying every day. If you run into any World War II veterans - thank them.

As of October 2023, there are no known British veterans left from World War I. The last surviving veteran, Florence Green, passed away in 2012. The passage of time and the age of those who served in the war have resulted in the complete loss of this veteran population.
In 2007, perhaps three - but now, in 2009, only one left

As of late 2023, it is difficult to provide an exact number of veterans worldwide, as this varies by country and is influenced by factors such as conflicts and demographic changes. However, estimates suggest that there are millions of veterans globally, with the largest populations in countries like the United States, Russia, and China. Many veterans are aging, particularly from World War II and the Vietnam War, leading to a declining number over time. Regular updates from governmental and veteran organizations can provide more precise figures.
