Claude Choules, the last known surviving combat veteran of WW1 has died.
When the last witnesses pass away it is a time to be ever more mindful of the full horror of war.
It's interesting that Mr Choules became a pacifist in his later life and refused to take part in parades.
After recent events and the jubilation which followed, perhaps we would do well to remember that there is no glory in death.
Rest in peace, Mr Choules.
