Fair comment, Joe.
I was thinking it tied in with the Remembrance Sunday thread as this guy originally served with the Royal Navy. That thread stayed above the line.
There has been great hype here in the UK about the "last" WW1 fighters dying this last year and I thought it should be brought to folk's attention that they are NOT the last from the UK fighting forces.
