Last Known WWI Veteran Florence Green Dies at 110 – ABC News
Posted by GruntDoc on February 7th, 2012
Florence Green never saw the front line. Her war was spent serving food, not dodging bullets.
But Green, who has died at age 110, was the last known surviving veteran of World War I. She was serving with the Women’s Royal Air Force as a waitress at an air base in eastern England when the guns fell silent on Nov. 11, 1918.

I had no idea there were any WWI vets left.
110 years old. Terrific run.
