Description

Claude Choules is the last man alive to have served in a military capacity in both world wars. In November 1917, he had his first taste of hostile action on HMS Revenge in the North Sea. He was 16 years old. A year later, he witnessed Admiral Beatty accept the surrender of the German fleet, and in 1919 he saw the Germans scuttling their ships at Scapa Flow. During the Second World War, he was responsible for naval demolition for Western Australia...'The Last of the Last' is a riveting account of his lifetime, one that vividly mirrors how the last century unfolded.
