Seiler are you sure as Harry Patch is being universally recognised as the last British vet from WWI and there is talk of a state funeral

Correct Rbt.Ex RN AND British.Living in OZ
with a Daughter I think.
Saw a recent pic of the three of them together
at Cenotaph.Maybe last year or year before.
No State funeral,but something in the way of a later salutory Event.
