I believe the last Australian service man of WW1 died in 2005.

Thanks. Who are these "old diggers" referred to in previous posts? WWII veterans?

Thanks Dimpz - that's interesting, but I don't believe it's accurate; I saw a new items recently which said that there were about a dozen British WWI veterans still alive (the article says only 3) - the government is planning to give a state funeral and a memorial in Westminster Abbey to the last one, as a symbolic memorial for all WWI veterans.
