A) Yes, that makes Walt the oldest living US veteran of WW1, a somewhat precarious position for a fictional character to be in.
B) A pocket hourglass is just a bit of silliness, but there are such things as pocket sundials, which are discussed in Wikipedia s.v. “sundial”. I own an Aquitaine ring, myself; a handy thing to have if you’re in the cast of a Renaissance Faire.

I recognize the Hertz Rent-a-Horse from an old Alan Sherman song but I don’t recall which one…

Pocket hourglass? I think Walt is making this story up.

Ironic this storyline ties in with that (sort of).

Time for Walt to pack it in. The story is starting to sound like something Abe Simpson would tell. And there are no other Doughboys alive.
