Henry Allingham died today.
He was one of the last of the many who fought in the First World War. He was at Jutland and on the Western Front.
Although he received many honours in the last years of his life as a surviving representative of those who fought in the First World War, he wore his years with dignity and remained a man with a real sense of humour.
He deserves to be remembered, as do the long lists of names on war memorials in every town and village throughout the British Isles (including what is now Ireland) and from all the communities that were part of the then British Empire.
