Last WWI combat veteran Claude Choules dies aged 110

Quote

Known to his comrades as Chuckles, British-born Mr Choules joined the Royal Navy at 15 and went on to serve on HMS Revenge.

Quote

He lied about his age to become a Royal Navy rating, joining the battleship HMS Revenge on which he saw action in the North Sea aged 17.

A similar tale to that of my grandfather who joined the army at 15 to fight in the second Boer War.

That's a remarkable story   Also interesting to know of Florence Green who is also 110.
