France French National Flag




France's oldest man, a First World War veteran who refused a medal and spoke powerfully about the horrors of war, has died at 110, leaving just one veteran alive from the conflict.
Louis de Cazenave died at his home in Brioude in the Auvergne region in central France yesterday, his son Louis de Cazenave said.
"He died at his house, in his sleep, without suffering," the son added.

(RG) To live to the age of 110 is an achievement in its self but having survived the first world war makes it even more remarkable. All those millions of men dying for what? Look at the terrible state of our country and look at the riots in Paris. If this old man had lived in the UK he would probably have died long ago of cold and neglect or have been beaten to death by a drug crazed teenager. He deserved to die peacefully in his sleep RIP Louis de Cazenave you have earned that right.
