We lost three of our last four vets in the same year a few years ago, as I understand the last one lives in Australia.
Farewell Frank Buckles.

All I can think of to say is that it's a shame. An inevitable shame, perhaps, but a shame nonetheless. We will never again have the benefit of first-hand interpretation from our WW1 vets. Let's hope we did well enough with the opportunity we had.
Rest easy, Cpl. Buckles. May you and your comrades find the peace in heaven that you fought for on earth.
