A very sad day.  :( We must never forget all those who gave their lives for their country and we must never stop learning lessons from history. R.I.P Claude Choules

Yes, this is a very sad day. It was easy to see the day coming (110 y.o. is no longer a youngster), but definitely not sought by any who understand the sacrifices made by his generation. Mr Choules was a living reminder of it all and will be sorely missed.

'Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'
