Still I consider the day I was born a birthday personally. If something happened in 1957 on my birthday, I wouldn't say that happened on the day I was born 44 years early. I would say, he that event happened on my birthday! To me a birthday, is ANY July 11th. Legally speaking though, your first birthday isn't the day you are born, it's the year after on that same day. AKA - you can drink on your 21st birthday. Conventionally, the idiom birthday to me is ANY year ever on the day I was born. So Psymon could be right if he was counting the year the guy is born.
Rephrase:
A man fights one world war, dies at the end of another world war, and only sees 11 birthdays not including the day he was born. What day, month, and year was he born?
