[Closed] Lest we forget

RIP "Chuckles". Thank you.

Thanks TJ. Worthy of a moment's reflection.

RIP.

Aren't there meant to be biblical conitations to the last soldier dieing?

Saw that this morning and definitly worth a minute of reflection.

joined the navy at 15 😯

Damned fine innings. RIP.

Perhaps the one time I will ever agree with you TJ but a very worthy mention.

Good Effort Chuckles.

RIP.

RIP

Nods solemnly.

Mr Choules remembered WWI as a "tough" life, marked by occasional moments of extreme danger.

Sounds like a top bloke.

Refused to attend Aussie WW remembrance events, would go for weeks without speaking to people.

Cheerio old fella

We won't forget

A life so long it goes back into history - remarkable. Very warming to see that he spent almost all of it with his wife.

RIP, I will raise a glass of rum to the old matloe.

Rest in peace. Thank you.

RIP, Chuckles - and Thank you!

They played a bit of an interview with him on 5 Live this morning. He was relentlessly upbeat saying what an absolutely wonderful life he'd had.

Top bloke. RIP

The last WW1 veteran dies

The last WW1 [i]combat [/i]veteran dies.

Bet his book's worth a read.

I heard that interview too Binners, I was listening to this in the car with my 7 year old and my 15 year old (who has been set on being a Royal Marine for the last two years). I tried to explain to the younger one the significance of his passing. We all owe him and many many others like him, an enormous debt of gratitude.

raise a glass to his memory
RIP

A subtle but important day for everyone. WWI has just passed from our collective living memory.

Helluva good innings. RIP.

And a wee bump for thee evening crew and raises a small glass in tribute

Cheerio old bean.
Ta muchly for the graft.

I raised this as a discussion at lunch - shocking how many of my (18-26 year old) staff assumed that everyone from WW1-era was dead...

Rest in peace.

Lest we forget?

I won't...
