The First World War does not grow old, as other wars grow old. Age does not 
  weary our memories, even if the years condemn. Here is a great conundrum. 
  Ninety years ago this month, the guns fell silent in the war that failed to 
  end all wars. The last poilu – the last of 8,410,000 Frenchmen to be 
  mobilised – died in March. Astoundingly, there are six British and British 
  Empire veterans, still living. Their ages range from 107 to 112 – the last 
  patrol of an immense host of 8,904,467 soldiers, sailors and airmen.
