LoginNicolas Savin
Description:
Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Savin (17 April 1768/13 July 1787 – 29 November 1894) was a French soldier and a claimed supercentenarian, although this cannot be verified. He claimed to be the last survivor of the French Revolutionary Wars of 1792-1802 and the last French officer of the Napoleonic Wars. After the defeat of Napoleon's Army, he settled in the Russian Empire.
