Last U.S. WWI Veteran Dies
 
Frank Buckles was 110 when he died. I wonder if he is the absolute last veteran alive. There are no more English, French or Germans still living but I do not know about other countries. A little sad but he was a hero. Rest In Peace!

Sad, the last of one of the finest gererations gone. :( I hope is life was as happy as it was long.

Actually I talked about this with some people and the consensus was that he was the last.

Per wiki there are two veterans of World War I left, both British, one in Australia and one in the UK.

I spoke before reading the article. I blame the Navy ROTC guys who told me he was the last >_>.
