Veterans of the Great War

**cplmpes30** · 02-08-2008, 05:21 AM

It is a recent news that the second last surviving frenchman who had served in the Great War died last month.

Also the last surviving German died in autumn 2007.

There are a few in Italy left.

Is there a list of the surviving british and american servicemen from that time?

Yesterday the last Poilu (Hairy one) has died.

Lazare Ponticelli was over 110 years old and shall be buried at the Pantheon as the last soldier to serve the French Army during WW1 as memento to all the fallen and to those who fought this bitter war with it's trench nightmare.
