He died today at the age of 110.

Strange fact, his name was Lazare, known as the saint of the dead ones...

Two years ago, they still were about a dozen...

End of an era.

So it is the last French veteran.

Born in Italy, he grew up in France. In 1914, aged 16, he cheated and claimed he was 18 to enlist in the Légion étrangère.
