Last World War One Veteran Frank Buckles died last Sunday at the age of 110. He had recently recovered from a chest infection and seemed in reasonably good health for a man of his age. aving lived from the dawn of the 20th century, he seemed to never tire of sharing his and the country’s old memories of the First World War, of roaring prosperity and epic depression, and of a second, far more cataclysmic global conflict, which he barely survived.
