Early yesterday morning, the last living soldier and genuine veteran of World War One quit this planet at the inspiring age of 110. Claude Stanley Choules signed up to the Royal Navy in 1915 when he was just 14 years old, experienced the legendary scuppering of the German fleet at Scapa Flow in the Orkneys, emigrating to Australia in the ‘20s and even fighting for the Royal Australian Navy in the Second World War. RIP VIA
