The Last WWI Vet Has Passed Away

wwI vet dies

Florence Green has died.  She was the world's last surviving First World War veteran.  Florence would have turned 111 in a couple of weeks.

She signed up to the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) 93 years ago in September 1918, when she was aged just 17.  She was the last surviving person to have served in WWI following the death of British-born sailor Claude Choules in Australia last year.

Canada's last WWI veteran, John Babcock, passed away last year at the age of 110.

With Florence Green's passing, they're all gone.  Still, we will never forget.
