According to the Order of the First World War, a group that tracks veterans, Choules and another Briton, Florence Green, were the last known surviving service members from the conflict. Green served as a waitress in the Women's Royal Air Force.

Green is still alive, as far as I know. So at least claims Wikipedia, which also on the same page knows of this passing.

The article is still correct, though. The last known combat vet has died. RIP.

Last known vet. Even if there´s others, can´t be many, and they soon will leave also. The end of an Era...

RIP sailor.
