Just heard on BBC news, Henry Allingham, the last surviving British soldier from WW! has passed away, aged 113.

So sad to hear about Henry Allingham. He was the oldest living UK ex-Serviceman at 113. He served in the Royal Naval Air Service and Air Force.
We still have Harry Patch, born June 1898, the 'Last Fighting Tommy', as his book title tells us, who served in the trenches in WW1.

... and now we have lost Harry, too. Very sad.
