Last Veteran Dies,

[Panzer 3]

Hi,
The last surviving veteran of W.W.1 has passed away, Florence Green was the last surviving veteran of W.W.1 she was 110 yrs old. Mrs Green passed away two weeks before her 111 birthday. Florence signed up 93 yrs ago aged just 17yrs,
Sept 1918, she was the last surviving person to have served in W.W.1.
During the war she worked at Narborourgh airfield and at R.A.F, Marham Norfolk as an officers mess steward. R.I.P,

Dave.

The older threads refer to Claude Choules who was the last veteran who saw active service , Florence was the last person to have served during WW1 although not abroad on active service !!

The last active service veteran was Claude Choules RN/RAN who died last year-to be honest Florence Green had a pretty marginal role right at the end of the war but obviously some one was going to be the last one standing-"It's a long way to Tipperary, it's a long way go...' RIP
