In Loving Memory Of Stanley Choules Age 110

The last known combat veteran of the First World War, Claude Stanley Choules, has died at the age of 110, in a nursing home in Perth, Australia, his family have confirmed.

The father-of-three was born in Pershore, Worcestershire, on March 3 1901, six weeks after the death of Queen Victoria, and was one of seven children.

Known as "Chuckles" to his comrades, he joined the Royal Navy aged just 14 in 1915 and witnessed the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow in 1919.

He emigrated to Australia in the 1920s and served in the military for 41 years before retiring and publishing his first book at the age of 108.

At 16 he joined the battleship HMS Revenge - part of the British Grand Fleet based at Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands.

God Bless Stanley Rip xx

A candle glows in memory
Of one I love so dear
The light will shine for eternity
And keep you forever near
While you sleep safe in heaven
Our memories I will keep
Every day I will think of you
And thank God up above
He gave me you for a short while
To share my life and love
As each day passes I will miss you
As each day passes I will care
As each day passes I will love you
Waiting for the day
When I will join you in heaven above
And be surrounded by eternal love
