RIP Claude Choules

[The Year Of The Fox]

Doesn't anyone care?

The last soldier to be involved in WW1 has died today.

If you get chance to watch the news later, do. He died aged 110, lying about his age (14) to get in the navy. Don't make em like that anymore.

Sorry I cant put a link up

He must have sat there sometimes and thought of the millions of men that passed before him and he was the only one left.

weird indeed.

Its a sad state of affairs in an age where this barey makes the news whereas Cheryl Cole going to the US X Factor has been covered by about every newspaper in the country.

Posted it on another forum, must've forgot to do the same on here while I was at it.

RIP.

Last of a generation that WE owe so much to.

Glad he had a long and hopefully full life.

Totally agree, its sickening.

Rest easy hero, rest easy.

[Jon the Hat]

RIP. Quite a career.

Got to say, every post in here is absolutely spot on.

What a man and what an incredible life he had. The last one from the Great War has now gone. Hopefully he is at peace.

True hero.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

A truly great man, and a very sad day for the history books.

I am sure that most of us lost relatives of some sort in the Great War, which still seems so close, but maybe now that little bit further back.

I salute him, and all who fell, defending our country, and our freedom.

R.I.P.
