  Replying to Sunder Katwala (sundersays)
  I had a go at part of this question a while ago (but need to allow for deaths since then) "We get the overall answer that 28,671 people were recorded in the 2021 Census in England & Wales as being aged 95+ and having previously served in UK Armed Forces" x.com/oliver_dw/st...
  Oliver Duke-Williams on X: "How many people 'fought the war for us'? I commented on this last year and was reminded of it when searching for an old tweet The census custom dataset builder allows us to look at detailed age by veteran status, and thus get a reasonable starting estimate @UKDSCensus" / X
