Are there any World War One Vets still alive?

Answer 1

Yes, however, the last Navy veteran of WWI just recently died.

According to a recent news story, there are three known Army survivors left (there is a fourth who served in the Canadian Army).

Answer 2

I'm not sure if a survey has been done - there might be a few, but very few.

The war ended 89 years ago; even if someone was a young teenager when they served, they'd still be 100+ years old.

Answer 3

I doubt it. WWI started around 93 years ago. To be a vet, even to have lied about your age, assume someone would be in the 13-16 age range, which would make them around 106 years old now, at the youngest. Now, assume a 13-year-old lied about his age at the END of the war, they may be as young as about 99 or 100.

Don't you sort of doubt that any are?

World War I ended in 1916 or 1917.
If you were 12 or 13 in '16 or '17,
and technically a veteran because
you were a volunteer, that means that this year
you'd be 105.

I guess anything is possible.
