FRENCH WWI VETERAN DIES.

badboy

I THINK THAT THERE IS ONLY 1 OTHER FRENCH WWI VETERAN ALIVE.

WOULD THE DEATH OF THE LAST VETERAN BE SEEN AS SIGNIFICANT BY JWS?

No the JW's wouldn't see this as significant, because their new light tells them that there is no "generation of 1914" any longer. Now it's a generation of "anointed remnant" people who are still alive whenever Armageddon comes.

PARIS - World War I veteran Louis de Cazenave has died at age 110, his son said, leaving just one known French survivor of the 1914-18 conflict.

Mr. de Cazenave, who took part in the Battle of the Somme, died Sunday in his home in Brioude in central France, said his son, also named Louis de Cazenave.

"He died at his house, in his sleep, without suffering," the son said by telephone. He said his father was to be buried Tuesday in Brioude.

The last known French veteran of World War I is Lazare Ponticelli, also 110.

Born Oct. 16, 1897, Mr. de Cazenave was called up to fight in 1916 and served in different infantry regiments before joining an artillery unit in January 1918, according to a statement from the French president's office.

Mr. de Cazenave took part in the Battle of the Somme in 1916, in which more than a million soldiers died, and in the liberation of France from German forces, the statement said.

"His death is an occasion for all of us to think of the 1.4 million French who sacrificed their lives during this conflict," President Nicolas Sarkozy said.

"This generation has only one remaining representative today."
