Default Re: Last WWI German Vet Dead at 107
Speaking of lasts, the last French vet passed away just over a week ago. He was: Louis de Cazanave.

Also, there are three US WWI vets still living as of the last I heard. Two are living in the Washington/Oregon area.

The last "original" Anzac died within the past 5 years.

I was priviledged to have known and corresponded with one WWI German vet by the name of: Fridolin von Spaun. He was 106 at that time and he was also known as the last survivor of Freikorps Oberland. Sadly, this Gent is now gone as of about 4 years ago.
