The last of the Multitude

Not really a debate. The last of the French Poilu, Lazarre Ponticelli, died yesterday. The Former Légionnaire fought for France in 1914 then got in National Citizenship in 1939.
He was the last one of WW1.
Monday, National Funeral for him, as memorial for all of them will be held...
"Honneur et Patrie" and "Honneur et Fidélité": Last one is specific for the Flags of the Foreign Legion...

How incredibly unreal that there are still people who fought in WW1

I hope that Harry Patch is still alive, at 109 the last British survivor of the trenches. I read his book, an interesting little read.
