Last Australian to serve during WW1 passes away

[Wolfgang]

John "Jack" Ross, who was also Australia's oldest man having turned 110 in March, died in his sleep early Wednesday morning at a nursing home in Bendigo in the state of Victoria.
Ross was 18 when he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in January 1918 and trained at the wireless training school, but the war ended nine months later and before he could be posted overseas. He was discharged on Christmas Eve that year.

Looked up in internet and there are two Brits still kicking. one is Henry Allingham "Allingham credits "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women — and a good sense of humour" for his longevity.[15]

Hey time to party if you want to live to be 100

I like this Wikipedia link to monitor remaining WWI vets:

As of now there are 3 Brits, 1 Canadian and 1 American. We're down to one hand...
