That generation mostly consisted of grafters and people who faced huge odds (the great war, extreme poverty, student movements, Uganda etc). They didn't care too much about Birthdays. Some of the elders even now don't care about their DoB. They don't see any actual value in it compared to things which they consist are important e.g. family, charity, work....

Huge odds? How my grandfather basically became a spy against the Japanese because he couldn't find any guns to use aginst them. He was one of the most daring men I've ever known.

Huge odds mean different things in different countries, especially the third world where the odds of having the basics in life or even life expectency are very poor. 

 

Your grandad sounds like a badass though. I have a friend who had a pretty dangerous gig when fought in the Falklands and Serbia. His job was to Halo jump into the middle of a Battlefield, move forward, gather recon, radio back to his superiors and stay safe whilst the soldiers advance firing mortars etc and try push the enemy back. 

 

Essentially you get blasted from both sides and since you are on the enemies half of the Battlefield, you are also more likely to get caught. I couldn't do anything like what my friend or your grandad did.
