Claude Choules is celebrating his 110th birthday with family and friends in Perth on Thursday.
He's the last known male survivor of more than 70 million military personnel during WWI, after American veteran Frank Buckles passed away on Sunday also aged 110.
The only other surviving WWI veteran is believed to be Britain's Florence Green, who served with the Royal Air Force in a non-combat role and is now aged 110. The last one of 70 million
A milestone. Another, sadly, inevitably approaches. Lest we forget.
