Strange ... if I recall correctly, I read the other week that an English man became the world's oldest man. If I recall correctly, it was stated that he was also a WWI veteran, and that he was one of only three surviving veterans of WWI.
In a sudden turn of fate, this one who died so most recently is now supposedly the last WWI soldier of Britain? Without us hearing about either of the other two having had to die within the remarkable timespan of one week - surely this would have been all across the news, especially when concerning the oldest man in the world.
It is a shame that yet another veteran of WWI has passed on, as it marks indeed the coming end of an Era, and he should gladly be remembered duly for his courage --- but in either instance, the press should be a little more careful to research more correctly.
