The oldest soldier to die in World War II was Lieutenant Colonel John E. McKinney, who was 73 years old when he was killed in action on April 20, 1945, during the Battle of Okinawa. He had rejoined the military after the attack on Pearl Harbor and served in the Pacific Theater. McKinney's age at the time of his death exemplifies the diverse backgrounds and ages of those who served during the war.
