The BBC reports that Harry Patch, the last British survivor of the World War I trenches, has died at the age of 111. Only one British survivor of the First World War remains, namely Claude Choules who served with the Royal Navy and is now a mere 108.

Hope4Others, Henry Allingham, who was the world's oldest man until he died a week ago, attributed his longevity to cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women. Makes one wonder about Methuselah, doesn't it.

Apologies to Olin Moyles Ghost who, I see, has already posted regarding this.
No worries. I just thought PM Brown's statement was interesting...especially in the context of a JW board.
He said "The noblest of all the generations has left us, but they will never be forgotten. We say today with still greater force, we will remember them."
