Master Bates Posted 12 January, 2009 Share Posted 12 January, 2009 One of only four surviving British veterans of World War I has died at the age of 108. William Stone, from Watlington in Oxfordshire, was the last British serviceman to have seen active duty in both world wars. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/7824999.stm RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARCELONASAINT Posted 12 January, 2009 Share Posted 12 January, 2009 What that man must have seen in his 108 years. Outstanding to have reached such an age. Bet he wondered why he and his fellow comrades fought in 2 World wars for when he looked around and saw the sorry state this Country has plummeted too.
