Henry Allingham one of the last two servicemen in Britain from WW1 has died aged 113. He was the worlds oldest man and had witnessed the battle of Jutland and was the last surviving member of the Royal Naval Air Service.
Harry Patch at 111 is now the last man in Britain to have seen action in WW1. Known as Britains last Tommy he is a veteran of The battle of Passchendale in 1917.
There is also another surviving WW1 veteran who has came to light, he is 108 year old Claude Choules who lives in Australia and had served in the Royal Navy.

Harry Patch Britains last serviceman of the Great War has died just one week after Henry Allingham. I believe that both of these men are now to be buried with full military honours.
